Intriguing. Another shot that screams a lower vote but raises quickly. The first impression is just kind of "meh" But the lines, the tones, the overall "hey, there's so much more to this than the initial" feel is cool. Thanks for making me stop and look twice.

Blueberry Pancakes

Ok -- it doesn't really say "blue" to me, but it is blueberries, so it really does fit, even if it doesn't meet my definition of the challenge. and it made my mouth water. So the first reaction was 5, but second thought was -7-, so I'll go with the 7. Might move it to 8 later if I still really want to eat the pancake. :)

Hiding From the Blues

I had some shots that were predominantly blue, but where the subject wasn't, and I wasn't sure how people would react. This works for me. I'll be curious to see where it ends up. I like the composition. Not leaving a lot of room to look out and yet having the whole lid back behind give it a feeling of movement or intensity. Nicely done.

It's the legs and shoes of the guy on the top that makes this shot. So many people would have either cropped him out or taken the shot with the whole guy. Your composition and cropping is brilliant! Thanks!

Whoa... Didn't expect to like a shot that wasn't just naturally blue. But this is spectacular! Well done, and well done for getting me out of what I expected. -9-

Great shot of the mountain -- but some really weird stuff going on in the sky. Did you try some sort of circular gradient? You're getting some odd stripes...
