Okay, I'm going to speak for everyone here... you need to stop entering challenges.. you know.. so other people can have a chance. ;) Just kidding. You rock the party that rocks the body. And your photos are both beautiful AND inspiring. Keep up the great work.

Country Life - c. 1820

Border should be thinner. The color and feel of the photo is good though. I like it. Too bad it has that border.

Really great detail. I like this idea. I'm not sure if this is the most efficient use of space or cropping, but I like the idea. Good stuff.

This is a textbook shot. I was wondering when it would pop up. Fortunately, I don't think textbook shots are bad. In fact, I think using that term means the shot is done how the shot SHOULD be done. Great shot.

Except for those little blurry lights in the background off the horizon, I think this is a fantastic shot. Oh.. and the border. I'm really not fond of the border. This shot really doesn't need one - much stronger without it. But I love the focus on one set of buds. The colors in the sky go perfectly with the subject. Really great shot.

I really like this shot. It full-on breaks a rule. He has no space in front of his face... in fact.. he has a ton behind him. I imagine you did that on purpose? I think it works though. I'm not sure. It really creates a subconscious uncomfortable feel. I wish the colors could be a bit more vivid and exposure a little more even. But still a great shot.

The red is SO vidid. It actually makes me wish there was more vivid color in the rest of the shot. I love the shapes of the.. umm... thingees. Good cropping. Little dark, but still a great shot.

I really like the angle and the color in the sky. Great exposure. Nice detail in the skull - not really blown out or anything. Great job.

I would give this photo a high score for the feeling it inspires alone. But I like the shape and detail. I also really like the use of black and white. Well done.

This picture is awesome for the colors alone. Does it say, "Country Life?" Not REALLY, but I won't take off for that. It's still a great shot. Good cropping. Border isn't necessary at all though. Borders should be used to enhance shots. This photo needs no enhancing. Great job.
