Wonderful set of textures! The skewed lines and perspective makes me want to use 'lens correction', but it's illegal in 'Advanced' ruleset :(

Beautiful bokeh - almost like a painting. Lovely perspective and lighting. Wonderful color contrast. A flower pic in a DPC free study takes some guts :) This pic pulled it off nicely - hope it does well.

Lost at sea

Lovely soft palette and lighting.
Would've liked the camera point slightly to the left - so that the wooden poles form a more continuous curve and the final platform is at 2/3rds.

Not sure I get the title, but the bokeh is to die for!
The aspect ratio is a little off, and I would've liked the nose and whiskers more in focus, but I noticed them only after staring at the pic for some time.

Love the soft details in the sky and the fog. But would've liked more contrast on the trees and the rock. Good idea on the B/W conversion...

Phew! Nice capture! Would love to see the details blown up on a wall. Would've liked a tighter crop even more I think.

Lovers Overlook

Nice flare and Sun burst! I can never get it right shooting into the light, so I really appreciate how your sky turned out here. Infact, the dynamic range in this pic is amazing - must be HDR? The powdered hill and the lake wavy reflection are fabulous. The lovers themselves are almost lost in the pic.

Love the soft color gradation in the sky. Interesting wave patterns in the foreground.
The picture feels a little unbalanced in composition because of the different angles of the lines and the horizon, as well as the hill on the right. Also, there are some artifacts in the sky and a general loss of details in the ocean - possibly from compression or cropping?

Simplicity

Love the minimalism, the silk, the curves, and the purple hues.
I would've probably preferred the other diagonal composition, but that's a nit :)
