Not exactly an abstract, but I suspect you've been told that already.

Heh. Cute, and I can't believe you placed all those little itty bitty things "just so".

It's not abstract enough. Well, you asked for it! :-)

Hard work on this one - nice carving job! Light is a little flat, but I like the overall effect.

I remember seeing this one in your portfolio before the challenge. Liked it then, still like it. Love the red curves - creates a nice flow to the picture. What I really like is that Sherpet's pictures influenced you to look at this plant differently - that's pretty cool!

You scumbag! How dare you hijack Aimee's idea! :-)

Seriously, though, this is very funny and well done. I like the stark white background and I actually like the border, too. I'm not always fond of borders, but I suspect this wouldn't work without it.

You stole your wife's idea?? Heh. Good story, though - I always enjoy reading the stories behind your pictures.

Heh - without even looking at the picture, I have to tell you I love the title. :-) I do like the picture, too. Sky's a bit bright, but I LOVE the textures and colors of the wall and windows.

I really like these kinds of images - simple, but seem to quietly hint there's a story to tell (whether there really is or not.) This one is well done. Duotone works well here, and the focus of the image (the 10) is well placed. Technicals are good - focus is crisp. The shadows imply it's about mid-day. If you get the chance (and you're at all interested in doing so) try reshooting this when it's overcast to get rid of the harsh shadow, or better yet, when the shadow might be longer or at a slightly different angle. I offer this suggestion because I'd like to see either more of the door, or less of it, going back to the "story to tell" kind of idea.

Oh my gosh! First, congratulations on meeting your prediction by getting a new personal best and a 6.0+ score! Second, and more importantly, this is a breathtaking photograph! The perspective is excellent and the composition, with the soft water and the line of clouds, frames the line of boats beautifully. The colors are soft and not too overpowering, adding to the peaceful, serene feeling this image beautifully imparts. Very, very well done!
