3 - Not sure on your title, but matters not. This looks like a victim of too harsh flash. Composition seems quite good, unusual texture combinations, but not reached its full potential, in my opinion. A more refined crop, as mentioned the lighting and more 'interest' via textures or, angle, or something, make this better in my opinion. Tweaking of the colors slightly too, especially for this Chalenge.

4 - Perhaps a different perspective/angle to 'use' this birds unusual coloring(s), especially against the green background, may have given this extra and accentuated the green/red color scheme (or possibly even blue/yellow with the feathers, who knows), in my opinion. This must be a Scottish parrot.

6 - Nice and simple, good composition and framing. Like to see the red tweaked a little, especially for this Challenge. Likely difficult, as looks like bordering on blown areas as is.

3 - Simple enough, but in my opinion the choice of bowl and also surface compete too much for attention away from your main subjects and therefore detract, especially from the color scheme, in my opinion. Also the choice of apple and tomato together would have to be a special and unusual shot to work, in my opinion.

4 - Good potential. Bigger (640) and a stronger crop, especially at the top, for this Challenge, to accentuate the colors, make this better in my opinion. Some tweaking pp to get the colors a little more vivid 'somehow' too, although likely difficult with the exposure/lights/etc. Perhaps a sharper/more unusual perspective may have also given this a little extra not sure.

5 - Fairly clean. Like to see the points dead on perhaps, more balance, not sure.

3 - A little unusual, still needs some tweaking of the colors to make it more unusual in my opinion, and especially for this Challenge. More balance, a more refined crop and the background 'blotches' fixed, make this better in my opinion.

4 - Nice concept. A litlte more detail discernable and variation in lighting (especially to reduce the blown areas), make this better in my opinion.

3 - Good potential, but this is coming across primarily more yellow than orange in my opinion. Perhaps a hue adjustment would have helped. Composition seems quite good, but perhaps a little more space on the left for more balance. The focus a little further forward too perhaps.

3 - Potential looks like it is there. Bigger (640 height), variation in lighting, sharper focus, more depth and better control of the reds make this much better in my opinion. Background is grainy and also dominates too much in this shot. Like to see the detail in the flower and petals and more leaves/green incorporated too. Composition is quite good. Up to 3 from 2, because it looks like you put some though into the arrangement/composition and framing.
