twice lucky

I like the colors and grainy quality of the flower petals, as well as, the composition, which is really very good. For me, the weakest part of the picture is your subject, the two jewels, which seem under lit. They need a bit more pop from say a spot light, albeit hard to do with such small subjects. Actually, I think the whole image could use more light. Looks like your light source was natural light from a window? Good job, nonetheless. 8

Lovely combination of colors and great DOF. Focus on the bird is good, but appears a bit dark around the eyes.

Lovely colors with a nice spring-like feel, but I see no specific subject to focus on and the image is a bit too busy. Also, I see some noise that can be fixed up with Neat Image or Noise Ninja.

Lovely picture and meets the challenge well. I really like the colors and the arrangement of the elements, but find the small chrome flowerpot and teapot in the lower right need some propping up as they appear sloping and throw the image off balance. Very well done otherwise.

Lovely pastoral scene and I like the effect that the bright haze/mist gives. Maybe some cropping at the top of the picture is needed. Not sure how exactly this meets the challenge, but still a very nice photo.

Walking in the woods

The rustic window frame is very appealing but your background view is plain. The silhouette looks more like a black blob without much definition. Also, do I see some noise in the shadowed areas of the wooden frame?

Love the tones and the scene but think the horizon is just tilted a wee bit left.

Great color but I"m not sure I like the window frame dead on the diagnal center.

Neat fisheye effect! I like the subject matter, but wish the kissing couple were a bit closer to the peep hole.

Spectacular scenery but I find the window frame lacking in appeal.
