I was surprised this didn't ribbon. Deceptively clean and simple, yet reeking of the tile emotion. Well done, Eddy!

Gawsh, Lev, that's downright LEWD! (wink) Who'd have thought a staid chayote was so passionate? Congrats on ribbon!

I liked this shot a lot, not least because the two corkscrews are so clearly "male" and "female". Congrats on ribbon!

This is also very nice, but perhaps a bit too agressive on the saturation and a bit too contrasty for best effect as well.

A very nice image. The colors are perhaps a tad too posterized, but that's a personal judgment. I don't agree that the sky should be darker per se, but I do think applying a little gradient to it would help, from a deeper blue to transparent on the selected sky area alone.

Taking A Moment

This is an "almost" in my book. It's very nice, but compositionally it's a little off for me. Horizon too close to centered, lighthouse too close to centered, wave line too close to centered... Everything except the surfer is forcing us to that wave/lighthouse interface. The sky seems an afterthought, sort of... The little curl of light on a wavelet behind the surfboard (or is that driftwood?) is quite distracting too. Try cloning out that "driftwood" and cropping out half the sky, and watch how it changes the dynamics of the composition dramatically. Still, a strong entry, lovely light. Well seen!

I suspect this has to be a winner. It's very beguiling.

The Sculpture

For my taste, the best of the fisheyes. Really nicely framed, wonderful distribution of negative and positive spaces, nearly a centered composition but out of kiler a little bit in everyw ay. Good work!
