Nice! You got a new image on your profile page, got your highest numerical placing, and your 3rd highest percentile so far!
Great execution. My favorite part about this photo is the yellow lines on the edges of the palm leaves. The frame the leaves quite well and really make them pop. I'm also fond of the descending height of the leaves in the background.

I really like this one. The lighting on the fellow is very cool. I also really like the lighting on the red awning, the way that it creates a ring of color around it, and the subdued glowing from the lights. Very nice.

The movement has created a really cool effect with the lights on the trees. Pretty cool outcome.

For me, the color in this shot doesn't do a whole lot, because the elements that are in color are neither subject matter nor attention grabbing. So when I see this shot, I think... what am I drawn to? For me, it's the edge of the hem, and the line that it creates through the image. I'd then think... what can I do to make that stand out more, to focus my attention on it? Personally, I'd do a BW conversion, increase contrast significantly and add some brightness into the hem itself through dodging, with maybe a little bit more right along the edge. The added contrast will accentuate the aged nature of the stone, and the excellent textures will become more apparent.

Wait... am I getting this straight? I missed seeing you in Colorado because I was in California, and then you were in California just after I returned?!
Geez!
But anyway...
I really like the moment you captured with those two, and I enjoy the line of the bench going through the shot too.

No kidding on the strange flower comment. What the heck is this? I've never seen one like it...

Nice image. I really like the bw treatment, and you've done a great job composing things in an interesting fashion with the spigot as such.

Would've been a good option for Weathered.
The processing almost makes the spider-webs look like paint splash/speckles. Nice shot.

I always loved the AT-AT's. Like giant metal mammoths lumbering about Hoth. Of course, their lumbering is cool, but you gotta love the awkwardness of the AT-ST's too.
Anyway, RE: aperture/perspective-
Might be sorta cool to do a super low level shot with your aperture opened up focusing on the feet to make it look bigger. Or maybe an angled shot with focus on the "head" so it fades off into the distance, making the viewer perceive it as a large object?

I really like the amount that the palm is illuminated. We even get some color to the foliage, which can be a struggle in such light.
