Fun with straws. Yep. Good sharp focus and you picked a good focal point. Lighting leaves a bit to be desired though. Somewhat flat and the colors are a little dull.

Dinner! Yeah. As for the photo I like the comp overall but the lighting is quite harsh.

Pretty healthy pile of books there; is it helping? :)

Your butterfly seems a tad, um ... stiff. :-)

Is that a hair on the glass or is it cracked? I like the color and arrangement. Not too crazy about the textured look. Good luck in the challenge.

I like this, but would have liked it more if the foreground element was in focus as well.

Born On The Bayou

Comment:
Cory, wonderful photo and worthy of the high score for sure. Now, I'll nitpik a bit, based on conversation from this thread: Bordering on Ridiculous

I like letterbox "borders" and this one works well - except I don't care for the bleeding into the photo in the lower left. Perhaps a 1 pixel wide dark grey border line just preceding the black would have offset it some? :-)

Way Out West

Like the main portion of the photo, but the foreground is seriously butchered from quick cloning (at least it appears that way to me).
