Really good shot, glad to see it placed but think it should have grabbed 1st for being so unique. Well done.

Well I already comented someone else as having the best shot in the challenge, so you've gone and made a liar of me. Really excellent. Technically fine as well. Good work.

Nicely done. Like the processing, composition. Hate to say it, I even like the border. If it is staged, it doesn't look like it which sets you above about 99% of the other shots in this challenge. Great job.

Little bit of harsh higlights on the hands, but this is the best shot in the challenge. Hope you ribbon, good job. (and I smoke, so figure that out)

I can't even tell what this is supposed to be a shot of. Sorry.

A Rose from any other view

Sort of from the ground up. Most interesting part of the flower is out of focus. Sky is blown out or darn close. Nothing really interests my eyes here. Good effort.

Exotic Flower....from the ground up

The persective here is not from the ground up, so that immediately hurts the score. Colors could be a bit more vibrant and the flower itself could be sharper in focus. Some interesting detail on that thing.

Perspective is pretty much the exact opposite of the challenge. Crop is too tight, nothing here to move the eye around the image. Maybe getting down on your knees, shooting from an angle that does look as if you are looking up at this thing, including all of it in the frame or moving it off to a side, something.

Up the tree

Going through and trying to comment on shots I voted low on. I voted this shot low because, while certainly meeting the challenge, it is a very, very boring photo. The lack of colors here is tough on the eye. Little sprinkling of green among the leaves crushed between a dead sky and the neutral tones of the tree itself. There also look to be some interesting shapes up in the tree so I'm thinking moving back a bit from the trunk would have kept your persective for the challenge while adding some things for the eye to move around on in the photo. The trunk itself overwhelms this picture while at the same tim eoffering almost no detail to study/get interested in. There are probably some nice textures on there that could have been brought out by crisper focus and some increased contrast. Good effort.
