"Pattern with-in the Glass"

I voted this a 6, it's a good photo but nothing spectacular. Would have given a 7 if there wasn't the slight distortion visible at the left edge and the bold black border that seems to make the image darker than it is.

Besides that, have a lok at the ascores given to most ribbon winners (especially those with strong colors), they all get 1s, 2s and 3s. There's nothing you can do to stop those people.

love, how the bay merges into the wheat fields. could be a tad sharper, border is overdone. Meets the challenge, sorry.

interesting shadowplay on your face, good focus on the eyes. DOF could be less deep. Meets challenge, sorry.

good focus, color and crop. way too much water on the blossom, looks unnatural

focus is a bit weak, slight lack of contrast; good crop and color
