It IS a little soft. The cars definitely cause some vibration (try walking across the bridge sometime), and this will cause the lights to move, and this will further soften things by making shadows less sharp. Try zooming in and comparing sharpness on the low pier in front of the bridge and the hills in the BG; that will give you a clue.

As for the colors, they seem about right to me, emotionally.

This is very appealing to me. The clouds feel unnaturally smoothed to me, but I realize they may not be. First-rate work.

Beautifully controlled tonalities and a sense of pure luminosity that feels very sweet to me. the grace note of the curved tailfeather brings a smile to my face. Good luck :-)

Loneliness

Probably too abstract to score well, and you will get hammered by the no-noise Nazis, but very much to my taste artistically. There's a palpable sense of sorrow and mystery here. Good luck!

This is very beautifully controlled light & exposure. Technically one of the very fine images in the challenge. I hope it does well.

This is fabulous, ricj and silky and mysterious. Pefect tonalities. Probably too austere to do really well, but you have my help :-)

I see you've brought the sharpness under control. I still laugh when I think of how you were accused of creating this as a montage, LOL. Fine entry!
