The detail, the colour, the bug(s)... has to be Roz... and brilliant as always.

What wonderful detail! And the use of duotone is a brilliant touch... makes this bug shot stand out from the others... even the great ones. This is my favourite macro shot in the challenge.

So simple, but so beautiful. Simplicity makes the colours stand out. Nice work!

Absolutely stunning scenery, and you've processed this perfectly. Love the mist, and the detail in the rocks in the foreground (including those in the water). Well done.

I am just blown away by the calibre of images in the challenge... so many that I'm bumping up from 8 to a 9 or 10... and this is another that deserves 10... there's nothing wrong with it and all I can put the initial 8 down to... but at least I'm back to fix my earlier harshness. Colour, composition, detail, and artistic value... all great.

If this doesn't get a Posthumous... I'll have words... This is wonderful for its uniqueness... it's what I wish I was brave enough to do with my photography. Love it! I can only give this one score (despite having given it an 8 initially)... that's a 10.

What a wonderful image... reminds me of my grandfather... oh how I miss him. Composition and contrast are great, but it's the emotion that this image stirs that makes this such a powerful one. I think I was overly critical with my voting earlier, and like I've been doing to a few images, I'm rectifying my earlier harshness now that I'm commenting. So... the 8 is now a 9.

Best architectural image in the Best of Challenge. I love the balance of this composition... could have done with a touch more contrast IMHO... so can't give it a 10... but definitely worth more than the 8 I originally gave. Less than 10, but more than 8... guess I have to give it a 9.

Oh Wow... truly amazing. Love the composition, and the colour. My one issue with it is the rock in the foreground... the only thing stopping me bumping my vote to a 10.. but I will bump it to a 9.

Great image. Colours and composition are wonderful, but it's the clouds that I love most in this image... they have a great depth... they give it a 3d feel.
