I am so surprised this didn't score higher. What beautiful animals and I think it worked well for this challenge. Not an easy shot to get and I thought your composition was good. The only thing that might help it more would be to blur the background some. Still, a shot to be proud of.

This is so stunning. I feel like I'm standing in the field looking at the sky. :) I like that it appears you didn't mess with it a lot in editing...it looks very natural.

Great bright colors! I'll bet this will make a beautiful print. I like the composition with the length of the proportions emphasizing the three flowers.

Really nice composition, exposure and color in this shot. It's very simple, but it carries a lot of impact.

I love the feel and the colors of this shot! I wish the horizon was straightened. Other than that, it is perfect! It just looks like a relaxing "wish you were here shot."

Cool shot. I like this idea alot and I'm surprised it didn't do better in the challenge. Great bubbles filling the frame and the color provided by the straw works well.

Wow! This does have the wow factor for me. I'm surprised it didn't score higher for the challenge. I just love the crisp focus, color, and reflection. Perfect.

Cutie! I think for portraits such as this, it works better to have a smaller depth of field to blur the background more. You can move her away from the background a bit farther and that would help gain that blur as well. Nice and clear shot and cute model!

Edit: I think I'd also lessen the blue a bit in the shot in order to warm up the tones.

This is way cool! Too bad about the sky being pretty washed out, and I would also try to bring out the shadowed portion of the balloon a bit more too. I'm going to a balloon festival next weekend and I'd like to try a shot like this.

Great studio shot. I really like the pose and the lighting is effective as well.
