I'm very surprised at the score on this one (I gave it a 6) - I thought it quite appropriate for the challenge and pretty well composed with no cropping. For DPC it may be just a touch soft - since sharpening was allowed, maybe one touch of sharpening? And by the way, you are eligible for the highly coveted, rarely awarded "No comments received during a challenge" ribbon! (Send me a PM if interested.)

I'd say you captured the chaos quite well! It is indeed chaotic, and that often turns off voters - with only a second or two given during voting in most cases, it would have been hard to see a "focal point" here, prompting a quick punch of the 5 key and on to the next. I like the color and the chaos. And I really like the green and white bunny on the one shield.

First off, you're eligible for the highly coveted and rarely awarded ribbon for No Comments Received During a Challenge (I have it in my profile - feel free to PM me and I'll send you a copy!). A very nice, soft sky and a pretty tree, though it's leaning a bit. That's perhaps one of the hardest aspects of minimal editing, is not being able to crop or straighten an image.

LOL! Love the comment about having the prune fronds to get the one-third line. Or you could crop part of the tree out and subject yourself to the "it didn't have a whole tree!" crowd... I like the subject - interesting to see a juniper growing on a palm. A tad bright on some of the fronds, perhaps, but very good color, contrast and comp for out of the camera.

In my opinion, this does meet the challenge and you've got very good color in the water. The composition is good with the diagonal of the water, but the picture overall lacks a bit in a point of interest.

I think you did very well with the concept - to me "low key" brings out the contours and shapes of something and you did that here. To help your score in this environment, you might try a composition a little less centered, with a bit of negative space.

Nice soft light to gently outline the contours of the face. In my opinion, it could have been a little brighter though it probably would have lowered your score in this particular challenge. I'm not a good judge of low key, it seems.

Provides very good definition of the contours and detail. The point that strikes me is the light in the eye - gives it an animated look - a presence, despite it being a statue.

I gave this an 8 and thought it not only met the challenge well but was a darn nice shot as well. And apparently I didn't recognize your wife or I'm not tired of seeing her. I liked the button.
