Reflecting-Pond

Even though it's red against green and blue it doesn't stand out properly. I would've changed up this scene and gone for the reflections in the pond and left everything else. 5

I would try to drag the shutter even more to create more blur, but that's playing it safe. I like what you have done here. 9

Quiet Evening

I don't like clouds that looks like they're moving much. They should be 100% blurred by the shutter or standing still. But that's me! Apart from that I like this. 7

Swan Lake

This has a false vibe to it with the colors and the swans. Very unpleasant, in a good way. 7

Frozen Motion

The color and composition is very good, and I can see this being published as a photo to build up the better ones in a series. It's a bit boring as a "stand alone photograph" because it's to much of a documentation of what nature has done here, but I guess that is well within the challenge description. 8

English Bay

A full worthy PUBLISHED photograph would have more punch in it, which this lacks, but that doesn't meen this is not a full worthy photograph. I would go in and brightened the high lights and darkened the shadows where possible to add more punch. 9

Pond in the morning

Good effort, like what you're trying to do here, but it doesn't work for me personally in this shot. 7

Along the Rio Grande

This is a 5 because of the color. the shiny trees takes to much attention a bad way for me. They should've been darker, if possible. These kinds of shots are a killer to retouch tho, so don't let me break you down. At school we had a color correction master as a guest teacher once, and he would spend up to 4 days color correction his photos. Not 4 days straight, but he would check in every other day to see if he still agreed with his corrections. Check him out, his name is Joakim Eskildsen.

Balance

Had the sky been darker it would've matched the water, then the title would be perfect balance and a 10. 9 from me
