Oh, size... but you know that by now. The lightbulb in teh top left corner is in focus, but it hardly occupies enough of the image to complement the huge area of OOF lights. The idea for the study is good, and I am not scoring this low just because it is blurry - rather because it failed to use the blur in a eye-pleasing manner (at least in my opinion).

Beautiful! What's not to love about this image. Final bump-up.

A Tranquil Reflection

What a great illusion! That boat looks as if it is floating in mid-air. I love the way you blended the sky and the water - the way you eliminated the horizon line. Bumping up - to top 15 in my choice.

Paradise Sunset

Nice colors and the reflections in the water. However, the framing (natural one) and the stuff hanging from the top is distracting and in general subtracts from the image rather than enhances it. Still a top-30 image in my opinion.

I like it how you captured the warm colors of the leaves in the foreground - they are in stark contrast with cold/frozen background. The green leaf hanging from the top - you could have done without it though, and the trunk of the tree seems slightly oversharpened.
Still, one of the top 20 from my perspective.

There is something about the colors in this photo that makes me go back to it over and over again. Although a tad dark, I find it fascinatingly appealing. Bump again. (can't bump any more - reached the top)

Wow! The best idea of the challenge! Now, if only the image were a bit lighter - this is a happy event after all!

These jet traces are ruining this photo for me. Youprobably couldn't wait for those to dissipate, but to me they are unfortunate. Once the challenge is over, I recommend cloning them out and posting it without - it's a wonderful photo.
Bumping up.

Nice colors, excellent lighting, but a tad dark for DPC audience. Bumping up. 9.
