9 - Wow. Toning works well. Nice capture of the bird.

6 - If this were bigger (640) and possibly a slight nudge rotate up on the right and just a little sharper/more defined, make this even better in my opinion. Good potential.

7 - Nice capture - difficult with the inclusion of the bird as is, but the perspective even sharper/unusual, make this even better for this Challenge in my opinion.

Nice study of a bearded iris. Colors are nice. Square crop/framing works well. The oof upper left corner and seemingly 'noisy' bottom left, are the only two real issues in this, in my opinion. The frame works quite well - but still, at this size, wish the image were bigger (although I realize it is 640).

Nice image. Like to have seen a little more detail - but that's just me. I like the way the two faces are showing different times - adds to the apt title. Good perspective/angle. Symmetry looks near spot on. Given the amount of pp, perhaps a little more burning/darkness in areas, to enhance the drama, may make this even better, in my opinion. Fairly minor, but perhaps deleting the ".jpg" in your title would also refine this overall.

Unless you were going for this type of effect, in my opinion too much detail has been lost and the overall feel is 'plastic', almost like 2D. A tighter crop on the right, likely also help this, again, in my opinion.

The Flag

5 - Good and unusual perspective. More flagpole and symmetry make this even better in my opinion. Not sure that this much empty space is working for this image, composed as is.

8 - Very good. A more refined crop make this even better in my opinion. Undecided on the 'odd' horizon/tilt, but does work as is. Good sharp eye on the horse.
