I would prefer a larger image to thick border. I do like the sharpness in the details

I like the leading lines of blue, I think a straighter horizon may have helped this out. I also like the hints of mountain reflection.

If you have photoshop you should use the Save for Web feature, it will get your photo close to the maximum allowable size 150 kb and 640 pixels which will show the most details. Your image is only 492 pixels on its largest dimension. Here is a DPC tutorial to help you.

I am not sure how close you cropped, but it may have worked a little better if the bird was in the bottom right corner and moving into the photo rather swimming out of the image. Just my opinion.

unfortunately with DPC's size requirements, thin crops do not work so well as you don't use alot of the space. Also if you have photoshop you should use the Save for Web feature, it will get you photo to the maximum allowable size 150 kb which will show the most details. Your image is only ~50 kb. Here is a DPC tutorial to help you.

Hard Boiled Blue

I like the patterns on this even thought blue light seems a little harsh, bumping up.

Cheesy......

I am guessing this is bleu cheese? will get slammed in voting I think. If you used your camera's onboard flash you can put a mirror just above and behind the apple out of frame to bounce the light back down to give the photo more depth, it will add some highlights to the apple and cheese.

I am guessing you put this in the wrong challenge...
You should take a look at this tutorial for getting images ready for challenges if you have photoshop. Using the the Save for Web feature will allow you to get the most detail you can.

"Snowman"
by DNA101

Comment:
I think more could be done with this object. Yes it is blue, so it meets the challenge but I think you could try and take it further. Where is this usually? Could it you have shot it with the focus on the snowman as it sits in your home? Could it have been placed in a fictitious scene you created? By itself with a black background and floating in there, it is not too interesting for me to score high marks.

I see a little blue but not much, but the overhead composition hurts this photo.
