Top 10 again! Woohoo! Dude, you're hot. I gave this a 10 in voting. I loved the colors and composition. The lighting is fantastic. Since I gave you a 10 I didn't see anything that could be improved.

I was greatly amused by this. Cool idea. I gave this a 7 in voting. The lighting was great, your background color was great. I really don't remember why I didn't vote this higher.

I thought the concept of this was great. I gave this a 5 in voting for creativity. The background is a little distracting since you can see the division so well, plus the wrinkles on the white side are so obvious. It also seems to be just a tad OOF.

I thought this was a great shot. I gave it a 7 in voting. The colors and arrangement are fantastic. What I wasn't crazy about was the perspective. I think this would have done better at a lower angle. The top row of windows is very distracting.

I voted this a 7 in the challenge. The title is excellent. The colors are vivid and the details are great. The thing that would have made this better is having him look at the camera. There were a lot in this challenge that didn't and I think they were scored down because a portrait is supposed to be posed.

I like the square crop. I voted this an 8 in the challenge. I felt it fit the challenge well. It would have been nicer if he had been looking at the camera, but I didn't deduct for that like other voters. I'm not sure what the color version was like, but it might have done better as this is just a tad flat.

WOW! Excellent angles! This really seems to draw you in. The colors are excellent and I love the softness that comes from the dark contrast to the light. The only thing I could think of to improve this would be maybe taking one step further in to eliminate that small light spot in the top right corner (my right looking in).

Nice long exposure. I like the colors and the starbursts on the streetlights. The light trails are excellent too. I dislike the large dark spot on the bottom where it looks like it might be trees or bushes. Maybe a slightly different angle to eliminate that would have put you so much higher.

WOW! This is really an eyecatching photograph! The wood colors are excellent and the small craft at the bottom is really popping. I think the angle is fantastic. The only advise I could offer on this would be to crop from the top just a tad to eliminate that small piece of sail? or whatever is hanging there. You would still have all the lines and poles going up without that grabbing your eye.

There seems to be too much to look at in this picture. It's nicely composed but distant. Also, my eye seems to be drawn to the tree slash person looking thing (maybe a statue in front of a small tree?). I think a tighter crop of just the central building would have done better, IMHO.
