Nice vanishing point. It*s too centered though. You might have cropped away some of the sky. 7.

Morning on the River

I like the red tones and the reflection. The only distracting elements are the green road signs on the bridge. Maybe you could have turned them orange or so with HSL? 8.

Nice bokeh, and good interpretation of the challenge, even though I needed the title to get it. 8.

My guess is he either didn't vote on 20% of the pictures or the robots found his voting to be inconsistent. Too bad...
You're right, the light source was pretty close to my left shoulder, but moving it farther away would have created softer shadows than I wished for. I tried higher exposures, but as you said, it would have blown out my shoulder (graphically ;). I might try that, though: the image is too dark.
Uhm, baby oil? No thanks :) srbrubaker said the acting seems unconvincing. Well, my neck hurt for 5 days because I contracted the muscles too much!

A bridge within a bridge within a bridge

Cool! I think the bridges are a bit too far off-center, and the wood on the right doesn't seem to interesting to me. But you did a great job seeing and showing bridges. Your title helps a bit with the interpretation, yet sounds good. 7.

Bridging the gap

You took full profit of the extended interpretation of this challenge. I like your idea. The lighting is very interesting, it creates that golden lone on top of the plants and the insect. I also think that your picture has a very strong and striking composition. The eye is led from the bright yellow sunflower, which catches the attention, over to the left. 10.

Paths of the righteous and the wicked

I like the lines, they are very strong. But the empty sky holds nothing interesting for me. Maybe you should just have cropped it away. 5.

Snake Walk

I like the silhouette of the person against the rising sun. The border is a little too large for me, 2 thirds of it would have been great. 7.

Self-Righteous mastication on the 31st Parallel of thought

Comment:
This picture looks too over-edited, as if you messed the curves up or pushed the saturation too far up. Use photoshop with moderation. For the rest, I don't understand your title (even though I'm sure it fits the challenge...somehow) and I find the large dark grey/brown area ugly and uninteresting. 3.

I'm glad you got what you wanted. I'm just as surprised as you are about your score.
