'Scary'

The expression is kinda funny, but the focus is off and the lighting is bad. This is probably a great shot for the ol' family photo album.

Looks like a great subject and nice lighting, but something really bad happened in the processing. I'm thinking too much Neat Image (or similar) is probably the culprit.

National Geographic!

She looks like a great photographic subject, but I think you missed the mark a little bit. Nothing in her face seems to be in sharp focus. Also, I realize you tried to emulate the National Geographic look with the border, but it just doesn't work me. The whole thing is also pretty small compared to the 720px max.

Pollen

Comment:
It's a great capture of a pollen covered bee, but something went horribly wrong on the technical side. Most of the detail is lost, and it's super-duper grainy/noisy.

Northern Light on Iceland

This seems like it's probably a pretty good aurora shot, but at 500px it just can't compete.

There are a couple of similar shots in this challenge, but this one has to be ursula's. Yep, just checked your 1x profile. :) Great choice. I really like this one, and I think it represents your likes and style quite well. On a second runthrough, it looks like you made my top 8! Up to a 9 you go! And thanks for the PM. :)

Truly beautiful. I love me some orange skies. This looks to be perfectly sharpened as well. Mostly, though, it just feels right. I'd totally hang a big print of this on my wall.

The purple entry that didn't happen! Awesome. I like how the light seems to have made an S on the apple.

Wow, that's pretty cool! Not something you see every day. Do I spy the fin of a second dolphin back there? My only complaint is that I wish you had given us a 720px version to look at.
