It looks like a perfect entry for High Key challenge! While I am not a border hater in this case I think a narrow white border could have worked better.

Rhythm of the Sunrise

A familiar scene for this challenge - a boat on the water. The toning is nice and warm, and the paddle was just at the right spot to add interest, including the weed attachment. The distant shore adds to the layering effect and probably could have worked better without the glimpses of the sky. A nice serene mood.

This must have been taken from far away to get such DOF in front and back.

Crater Lake, Oregon

A difficult shot through a window of a plane I assume. There seems to be some kind of reflection in the upper center. The color are over saturated and there is a purple vignette around the edges. I thought at first to try B&W but there isn't enough tone variations to make it work. Nice idea but difficult to make it work.

My first impression was that this image is over saturated but in this particular image it looks OK. The simplicity of the composition is great but not particularly original. The sky adds a lot of interest. Overall a nice image but short of being great. Maybe overlaying short exposure of the boat over the long exposure with smoothed out waves would turn a nice image into a great image.

It is a fascinating sky but the image does not quite work to me. Adding a shadow of an observer would turn it into much more powerful image and inspire greater appreciation and connection with the viewer. It is amazing how many stars are out there!

It is a fantastic image, beautifully balanced. I like the 3 fishermen and the green vegetation reflecting in the water. It creates wonderful textures. To top of that the yellows and greens work so well. I can't give it anything else but 10. A great image.

I like this scene but find the colors too saturated. I also think including the bare light patch in front spoils the balance and makes it too busy. Getting a bit closer would make it still OK for the challenge but result in a better balanced image.

I can see it is taken with a T&S lens so this is why you look so small. Seriously, did you move the furniture for this shot? :) Amazing as always.
