Refreshing!!

Very nice! I like the contrast between the rushing water and the calm of the reflecting pool above it. (Hint: natural shots seem more natural w/o man made items in them, no score effect) 8 Swash

Very nice shot! A tad hazy in the distance, but I like the idea. Suggestion: could you saturate the greens and blues more (to fake out the haze). 8 Swash

Waterfall

Comment:
Very nice! Sharp photo with lots of great color. Good amount of blue sky. Did the falls disappear below the rock in front - or - could you have shot over that rock? I'd like to see more of the waterfall. Still, all in all, this is very nice. 9 Swash

Newhall Park

Nice shot. Looks like I see two kitties, right? (the one I think is there is very close in color to it's background, hard to see it) The stuff on the pond's surface obscures the neat reflection (I know you can't do anything about that, but it does). The tree blooming in the background is nice, but further back is a building that I could have lived without. Good color, details seem less than crisp. 7 Swash

Boatscape

Neat photo, but (sorry) slightly off the challenge idea. Nice sunset in the background. I think the mast coming out of the line of boats seems like an unfortunate placement (it just looks wrong to have mast coming out of a dingy's nose). A strange idea: get closer to a boat and get the sunset reflection in it's side... maybe too strange. Sorry, 5 Swash

As Scene

Cute play on words (on purpose, right?) title. Nice opposing subjects. Too bad the sky was so grey, to help out with the contrast. Very soft looking snow.
Easy 8 Swash!

Sunset Lake

Very pretty shot, but it's sooo small! It's hard to make out enough detail to address quality issues. Nice colors, maybe a bit too much foreground. Show me more, maybe I can squeeze another point for you. 7 Swash

SNOWFIELD

Bumpy! I like it! I'd have been O.K. with just the bumps (no fence or far distance), you might have fooled some into thinking these were snow topped mountains (need to leave out the grass, too!) 7 Swash

Light House

Neat shot, really like the foreground grasses! This is a pretty small view, hard to tell on quality issues like focus. I need more, please. Score 6 for now. Swash

The Temperature Falls at Niagara

Wow, this has some very cool (personal favorite) elements! Rainbow, frozen stuff (in the foreground no less!), water (lots of water) and a pretty sky. What's not to like? 9 Swash
