I like the idea, but the colors are a bit over the top for me. I was out fo town and couldn't vote, but I would have scored it a 5 or 6. I would have leaned toward a higher score if the colors weren't so saturated (especially his hat, which has few details).

I have a hard time seeing the gun because it matches the background color so much. The watch is much better, but it suffers from some out of focus portions. I was out of town and could not vote, but I probably would have scored this a 5 or 6, pretty much like most people. I like the idea well enough, but the lighting and focus just don't allow you to quite carry this off IMHO.

Interesting photo. I see you used a zoom lens. I hope you were on the 200mm end of that one given the subject. This certainly meets the Green requirement of the challenge. The murkiness of the water is a bit distracting...like having too noisy or grainy a picture. I was out of town and couldn't vote, but would have probably put this down as a 6.

I like the simplicity of this shot and the bokeh. The textures are good, but the light is a bit flat IMHO. I was out of town and didn't vote on this one. I probably would have gone with a 5 or 6.

I'm sorry to say this one doesn't work for me. On my monitor I can barely see beyond the light on the floor. I didn't even notice the back wall during voting because it was so dark. I didn't get the feeling of an empty room at all. On the otherhand the doll is kind of scary.

I like this photo's use of bokeh. Very effective IMHO. On the otherhand, I thought a couple of the white petals were a bit washed out. This is not my favorite of your work by a long shot. I gave it a 5 because it seemed average to me.

Nice, simple shot. However I am not sure I get the feeling of desolation. I was not able to vote, but would probably been in the 5 - 6 range.

Excellent picture. Wonderful abstract. Super colors and lines. Nice textures. Obviously I am not the only one who thought so, given your high ranking. Well done. I have no idea how to improve on this image. I would have scored this an 8 or 9 had I not been out of town.

This is much better than your original bridge shot, with much more going on in this photo. The postprocessing really makes this photo IMHO. I was out of town and could not vote in this challenge. But I would have given it a 7, possible 8. I'm a sucker for soft postprocessing.

Earth tones

I like this picture. The color and focus are very strong. The lighting seems a bit harsh to me, though. ...I can imagine the table lamp with the shade removed sitting on the floor just out of the frame. A little softer light would have worked better IMHO. I am one of the 94 who scored this a 6. (Interestingly, I chose an earth tone setting for my shot, too. Yours, however is much better.)
