Reaching into the sky...

Nice capture, sort of abstract, like the contrast between the stone carving and the blue sky, however, your sky is very pixelated on the right, which I find distracting. Saving at a higher quality setting (to use the available 150kb) would probably solve this.

Interesting pic, three very different areas, both for tonality and texture. I think I would prefer a little more DOF for the top part.

Fantastic shot. I love it when people do unusual stuff with flowers and pull it off ... you definitely did. Congrats on your high placement :)

Yep, an abstract. I can tell it's some sort of a glass object, but not exactly what. I have to confess the thing that draws most of my attention in the image is the orange area in the bottom left (flame?), and just in general the lower part of the image (more color and texture going on), so overall, it feels a bit unbalanced to me.

Nice contrast of texture and color. Like the post-processing, too. Not sure it's really an abstract since at least the rope is fairly recognizable.

Nice post-processing on the desaturation, great shoes :) I have looked at this one a few times now, trying to figure out why it is that, despite good editing, the image doesn't appeal to me that much (yet the thumbnail is clearly interesting enough for me to open the image up again). I think it's the cut off upper body primarily, somehow it feels disjointed that way. I'll check back tomorrow to see if you have left some photog comments.

Nice composition and colors. Love how far you can see. Since this was post-processing, I'd love to see a bit less noise in the sky and the spot underneath that one cloud edited out. Other than that, very nice.

This is fantastic, both the fact that you saw that this very simple scene would make a good photo (many people would've walked right past it), your composition, the colors and your post-processing. I really can't say I would change anything, except for maybe cropping a tad more off the top of the image, for some reason I can't explain I find that that works even better for me.

Don't you just wish you could enter this in the blue challenge :) Beatiful dreamy capture. I like what you've done with it in post-processing, too.

This is a fantastic and creative portrait. The composition is just so spot-on and the title really compliments the picture. I like the position of the hands and how that one, very clear and bright eye is lookind directly at me. Tonal range is also good. Really, there's nothing I would change.
