A new PB! Great shot too. I love the open beaks. The color is excellent. Except for the bright flash, which you noted, I don't really see anything that could be improved. And you didn't even get a single one! Way to go!

I like the composition. The way the black box (AC?) seems to be the opposite of the lines (windows?) cut into the building. Almost like an inverse, if that makes any sense. It appears that they were even cut off in the same way (the crop). The orange of the building against the very blue sky is dramatic and I love it. All in all a great image (and nice finish too btw).

I like the coloring of the photo but it looks overprocessed somehow. Maybe too much sharpening? The fence is distracting in that it keeps pulling your eye away from the house. The effects from the sunlight filtering through are great. You should post the original in your portfolio so we can see the diffence before processing.

Nice use of colors. The lines are very crisp and uncluttered. This photo would stand on it's own without the challenge which I think makes a photo great. You could see this on an office wall. Great job.

Congrats on another great score! You go girl! I didn't vote in this challenge but it would have been a 10 from me. Great concept. Great execution. The only thing I would change would be the foil.

This is an excellent shot! I can't believe you didn't get burned. I didn't vote in this challenge but would have given you at least an 9 for the danger factor.

Enjoying my ultimate success.

This is a cute shot. I like the setup and your little boy is adorable. The top (bottom) of the one foot is very distracting though. I'm not sure if that's a blow out or maybe grass stains, LOL.

total success

Congratulations of your NEW PB and top 10! You really do just keep getting better and better. This is an awesome shot. I gave you a 9 in voting because I found that thing to the right of her arms floating in the air distracting (I still can't figure out what it is). I'm sure with basic editing there wasn't anything you could do about it. Without that I would have gone with a 10. Great shot!

OK, first off most foot shots are judged bad, just because they're a foot! I think the concept fell flat because really, who would be walking across their stove? I didn't vote in this challenge but if I had I probably would have given this a 4.

This is funny! Too many grouchy people that don't have a sense of humor on this site, IMHO. The right arm (on the left) is a little bright. I can just barely see one eye, I think an improvement would have been to see at least all of one eye and maybe some of the other. Other than that, great job!
