Silky Smooth

nice composition; love the blue feel to the pic. A bit soft on the focus, and perhaps a tad overexposed on the falls

Nature's Mirror

Nice reflection shot, but not particularly interesting. Well composed, good sharpness, and its got one of the elements in there as a strong feature, so you get a 6 from me.

As the Crow Flies

Nice color and composition, and nice cloud-sky-cloud diagonal pattern. Clouds are a bit soft on the upper right, tho.

Interesting landscape and clouds, but the two compete for my interest. Nice shot, but nothing here that makes me want to linger. 6

Wind Power

Nice movement on the mill. Background is nice, but don't like the crop on the bottom -- cuts the interesting clouds off and makes the windmill look a little crooked. 6

Water is Life

I bet this will do really well in the competition -- its just the kind of image that DPCers love. For me, this type of shot is great on the first look, but doesn't have a lot of staying power ... the more you look, the less there is to see. That's why its a 6 from me.

On the technicals: the exposure on the drop is very nice, but the fish is a bit soft. My guess is the fish might be a picture on a computer monitor behind the drop?

Nice shot, and good use of DOF, though a little soft in spots inside the dandelion. I think this could have been helped a lot if one or two of the dandelion "feathers" were floating away on the wind on the left side of this shot, as that would have really illustrated the wind element and popped this to the next level. 6

Replenished

Nice shot, but nothing new or unique here. A bit of a stretch for the challenge, since the subject is the flower not the water. 6

Nice ripples on the water to meet the challenge. Focus on the duck is a bit soft. 6
