this image looks to have potential, but i'm not too keen on the cropping or perspective. it also seems to be a tad dark. you might have found a stronger image if you had moved a bit to the right, and shot from her torso up, including only the rock and sky for background. just my opinion, though. all the same, you have a nice image, and i hope it does well for you. good luck!

talk about bad timing...this would have been excellent for the minimalist challenge! as is, it is nice enough, but not really interesting enough to rack up the points in a free study. don't get me wrong--this is a nice image, but it doesn't really have that wow factor that is good for an extra point or two. good luck!

nice image. seems to be lit just a tad too brightly, which is taking away some of the strength of the image. i also wonder if you had taken a perspective that would have put the blooms a bit closer if the composition would have been more dynamic. as is, i find the blooms competing for attention, as opposed to one complementing the other. all the same, nice work. good luck!

love this! i always find these types of shots inspirational, in that they make it so obvious how much stuff there is out there to see if we'd just stop looking. great range of tones and textures. i really hope this doesn't get overlooked in the challenge, and that it gets the attention is deserves. good luck!

this is beautiful. very nicely seen and composed. absolutely love the range of colors. you might consider making a slight shadow/highlight adjustment to the foreground, as it is interesting enough to look at, but frustrating in not being able to tell if it's stone or wood. all the same, great work. hope it does well for you.

absolutely beautiful. incredible range of tones through the ski, and, on top of that, a bird that doesn't look like an annoying spec in needing of cloning! really hope this does well for you. good luck!

killer work. love the colors you've captured. these shots are always tough, because you have no control over just what is going to happen while your shutters open. very nicely seen and composed. hope this does well for you. good luck!
