Nice take to the challenge. The main probably here is the contrast. It fine on the foreground but with the rocks in the back and the water it just looks flat. Not anything you can fix in basic editing really so I probably would have tried to minimize that problem when composing this (i.e. more beach in the shot or have the dogs closer to the water if possible).

The dimensions of this is just 360 x 239. It really needs to be much bigger to stand any chance. It looks like there is some good detail there but it's just too hard to see.

Would have liked to see her eyes more. Nice photo though.

Nice take to the challenge however, I think you didn't convey enough in your photo to match the saying. It really just focuses on the first thing.

Very nice. Would have liked to see a bit more lighting on the area by the needle as opposed to the wrist.

Wonderful landscape shot.

The grass is greener on the other side

Well it is! This is funny. Did you actually desaturate some of the grass to get that contrast?

See A Penny and Pick It Up...

The background is a real issue for me. There's just too much happening back there (i.e. lots of contrast and color) which pulls my eye to the center rather than the hand and the penny. Probably a better way to shoot this was to face the wall or something more uniform so that the hand and penny stand out more.
