follow the yellow brick road

Very original composition and meets the challenge perfectly.

Some focus issues going on here, that license plate should be sharp as a tack. I think yo u overdid the doging around the headlights. Brush some of the sand off the road on the lower right. Move car and road to the left of the photo.

DoF is great on this.

Shades of Blue

This is a nice idea. I don't care for the weird post processing effect and it is a bummer that the left side got cropped off. On the upside, excellent attempt at meeting the challenge. Going to crawl out from under my bridge and actually tack a 6 on to this.

Color on color. Why did you even submit this?

whirling dervish waterdrop

Comment:
Pro's - water drop shots are always neat, and this play on greens is very appealing

Con's - water drop shots are so overdone as to have lost most of their wow factor with the exception of an excellent few - and with hundreds of them littering this site the bar has been raised very high. The composition would benefit from the drop action being off to one side or the other. The black reflection underneath is a major distraction.

A noble attempt.

Bonsai's Shadow

Comment:
Cropping this so just the shadow on the wall is the shot would have met the challenge and been a pretty decent photo in all regards. As it is, the orange, brown and black of the bonsai subject detract from the green on green theme and push this towards dnmc.

Camouflage

If that ugly little bug was more the focus of this shit, perhaps with some lighting on his face, this shot would have been excellent. The way he is cocking his head really gives life to what is otherwise 'another bug shot'. A noble attempt! 5.

Red Leaf
by DigiFotoBuddy

Comment:
This is a good idea and the photo is well taken. However the cropping off of the top of the leaf and setting the leaf smack in the center of the shot makes this uninteresting. Moving the leaf off to a side so the contrast between those nice veins and the flat background would really have added some pop to the shot overall.

Blue on Blue Abstract

Comment:
Ok I'm lowballing this and here is why. Blue on Blue is what you present as your theme. Yet the dominant subject in the photo are the large red bars. Add to this the white railing or knee wall and the brown bit of concrete showing and this is about as far removed from color on color as could be.

Compositionally, this was a nice idea. As this is advanced editing, I think you could have taken this and played with the colors to get everything up as shades of blue to better meet the challenge. Also would have been good to clone out that piece of hair or whatever is in the top right corner.

Minted Peas
by froglet

Comment:
This is a nice shot and a really appealing balance between shades of green.

With the flat dof, it loses some spark. I would have liked it if the peas were a bit out of focus, drawing the eye to the leaf. Or setting the leaf off to one side or the other of the shot. Any of that or some other method to improve the contrast between subjects would improve the shot, but really nice overall.

Citrus

Really nice. I like the halo around the orange. Wish the shadow were a bit darker to provide a bit more contrast. Also would have liked to see that little bit of green stem plucked out so this would have been purely a composition of oranges.
