7 - Very nice. Wish it was 640, possibly height and width, depending what you had to work with quality-wise. A tighter crop at the bottom may have given this a little extra in composition and balance and made this even better in my opinion.

8 - Nice. Wish it was 640 height. Toning works well. Like the compositional balance and lines/'movement'. If the quality wasn't there to make this bigger, perhaps a frame might have given this a little extra, who knows.

8 - Very good. Really like the focus/focal areas. Not sure on the alignment/crop at the bottom, but depends what you had to work with, obviously.

Nice capture. As I'm sure you're aware - just a fraction more depth of field and (difficult) but a little sharper, make this even better in my opinion. Nice composition and colors. The flower buds(?) are a nice 'element'.edit:removed 'TN'

Very nice angle/perspective. Think the slight softness works here. Not sure that the framing works well with this one, in my opinion. Nice composition too. The fallen begonia petals on the moss make a nice added 'element'. Perhaps the colors overall tweaked a fraction, not sure.

Nice image and composition. Perhaps more finely tuned at the top to eliminate the 'blue' entering in so much may make this even better in my opinion. Like the texture and the focal points.

The Meadow

Nice image and scene. Really like the sky/cloud capture. The elements all work well here, as well as their colors. Might be the natural coloring of the flowers in the fore, but perhaps if they could be 'tweaked' to show their blue/match the sky/clouds, might give this even extra. Just a little more focus/sharper on them too (just like to see more detail in them). Might just be the perspective or even possibly a wide angle lens used(?), but this seems slightly 'unlevel', perhaps a fraction nudge rotate up on the right, not sure and apologies in advance if wrong. Overall this seems slightly unbalanced lighting-wise, but given the color ranges and what looks like could be 'fill flash' (again apologies if wrong), difficult to adjust I imagine. Lastly, perhaps just a more refined crop at the bottom, where the flowers enter in make this even better in my opinion. Some nice images in this collection.

Beautiful picture of a cosmos. Very good for straight out the camera too. Undecided on the pink ones in the background - maybe a slightly tighter crop on the left/top, not sure..

Another Flower

I like the focal areas in this. Overall looks a little dark, but could be my monitor or intentional. Perhaps a variation in background color may have 'lifted' this a little and given it more of an edge. I only voted - 30% or so in this Challenge and didn't get to this. Hypothetically, perhaps a 4 or 5, for the reasons given above, plus would like to have seen more 'yellow' dominate, for the Challenge - just my opinion.

Misty Loon

Comment:
Nice capture. Likely difficult, but perhaps trying to tweak the colors a little, as well as a fraction nudge rotate up on the left and then a more refined crop, may make this even better, in my opinion. The overall symmetry is nice in this, with the 'ripple from the loon' adding a good element. Not sure on the cloud at the top.
