Really neat abstract, good eye! Very busy image but still pleant to look at. I just find the faded section on top a little distracting. Not really sure how that could be fixed.

Three Windows

Very effective b&w, I especially like the blown out highlights in the windows, creates good contrast. Nice brick textures. I find the angled composition very pleasing but keep noticing the lines on the top aren't parallel with the frame (should be angled a couple more degrees clockwise). The large dark shadow in thr lower right also distracts a little.

Color My World (Chicago)

Very interesting abstract, nicely compsed. A little unevenly lit, but otherwise a very sucessful shot. Meets challenge well!

Here Comes the Sun

Wonderfully lit and compsed flower, I especially like the subtle shadows in the bottom right corner that break an otherwise solid green background. Perhaps it would have more impact with the flower in general being more evenly lit, and although I like having the least amount of negative space possible, its a personal preference. Very well executed!

Four Calling Birds

Nice lighting and background, composition effective also. I think the photo is hurt slightly by the rightmost out-of-focus bird, even if it is intentional.

Four Seasons

I had this idea in mind and couldn't think of a way to get all four seasons together, so I nixed my plan. Glad to see someone's execution of the idea! Pulled off pretty well, interesting arrangement.

Liquid Four

Looks like a technically complex shot. Whole image seems a tad too soft, but with that critcism aside, its got great colors and reflections that seem strategically placed to make an interesting composition. And having four small bubble refkections is also impressive.

Very neat abstract, almost seems like jellyfish at the bottom of a deep ocean :) jpg could have been at a better quality, or perhaps the artifacts are a product of oversharpening? Can't tell the difference yet... nice shot!

Feeding Time

As for meeting the challenge, I don't feel it meets it as strongly as it should - one fish is hard to see - but otherwise the elements of the photo make a very interesting abstract, especially the colored bits on the top left. Looks a little messy with the grass, perhaps a composition where the grass is less cluttered would have worked better.
