I'm an absolute sucker for reflections so your image is going to appeal to me anyway. I really like the dual effect of the mirrored reflections together with the reflections from the side of the car too. The distorted shapes are another intriguing and appealing element. It would have been more effective without the bushes but probably not a lot you could do about that. The lack of detail in the dark frame helps draw you into the essential parts of the image well.

The perfect reflections are key in your lovely landscape. Although I quite like your portrait orientation there is part of me that wishes I could see more of those reflections to the side as opposed to the sky. Your positioning of the foreground rocks lends itself well to the shapes of the reflected hills. The colour of the foreground rocks against the near mono of the background also works well

A great abstract and good seeing on your part. You get a sense of understanding what it is without enough detail to be able to confirm that it is what you think it is, thats the sign of a good abstract thats working well. The colours are both bold and appealing and enhanced by the surface ice and its apparent textures. There is an overall lack of sharpness but this is precisely the sort of image that lends itself to a softer focus.

What a lovely mysterious landscape you have given us here. The mists and long exposure have made a really appealing image. The foreground and rolling shapes of the land with the mists add a real sense of mystery and leave you in alien but intriguing setting. In terms of the challenge brief this is truly a work of art. I have very fond memories of Mull this is making me long for a return visit.

A great panoramic that captures the landscape really well. This is all about the quality of the light from foreground to the distant hills and sky it all works so well together. The distinctly lit bushes in the foreground are in an effective position in your composition. Next we have the heavily pock marked sands of the middle distance and then those lovely hills each fading away to the distance with the near mono hills, its all very appealing.

You do indeed get a feel of retro here, in this simple but effective image. The central placing of the vase is key to the whole image, I like the choice of aperture to soften the background done a little. The colours are plain and work well together. It is easy to imagine whiling your time away here. The lighting is good with good detail throughout

I get an opportunity to add to my earlier comment, I adore your image it is so beautiful, high key with attitude it has been done so well. The snow is so pure and white the way it needs to be with the pony coming through in subtle greys and what a beauty he is, the action of his foot moving through the snow makes it more dynamic. As I look at it more closely it could be argued that the exposure is a little too much with some loss of detail but having said that I think that is what makes this works so well. This is one of those rare occasions where the loss of detail actually adds another element of mystique to the shot.

What a lovely abstract, although its been done many times it needs to done well as indeed you have done here. The colours are superb together with the bold silver trunks it makes for a delightful image. There's not a lot I can add really your settings have obviously been deliberately chosen to give you the long exposure you needed.

I like the bold colours and the simplicity of it all but the real appeal is in the reflections they are what makes the image work so well. The shapes of the reflections are so intriguing and effective and the colours interspersed with flashes of mirror-like reflections amongst them adds to it. Your composition is good but I sort of feel I'd like to see a little more of the object especially against the left side of the frame which has the patch of orange as opposed to a uniform red wall.
