Simply perfect in composition, colour and post processing.
Where the hell is this place and why haven't I seen images from here before?

As you will no doubt see when you are voting, glasses and reflections in glasses very rarely do well. The exceptions are technically perfect and artistic. By pointing that out I guess what I'm getting to is that this example doesn't really exhibit any of those qualities

Tails or Tails ?

Macros of coins and other table top stuff rarely do well in DPC. We have all seen them over and over again. They are a favourite of the newcomers to DPC because they are a nice easy set up, something you can do in the kitchen or spare room.

They are really something to practice with, not something which is a competition image as such.

This example has blown highlights and hasn't really any great detail, the junction between the table top and the background also needs to be disguised somehow.

Now isn't that just a perfect landscape?
Perfectly composed and the luxurious colours really do make this stand out as the obvious blue. Congratulations

On the Night Shift

Compositionally this is a real tough call. You wanted the lights and the reflections obviously, but you have no real foreground except that tiny triangle in the right corner. Foregrounds need to be stronger and more prominent. There is a huge expanse of black in the bottom left which contributes nothing, and the sky is taking up half the image without contributing too much either.

My recomendation would be to have concentrated on a smaller section of the town lights and make a stronger feature of the narrow stripe which actually cotains the reflection. Get in closer next time

Candle Eye

Comment:
The candle cannot be distinguished, it might have well been a fluorescent light.
The greatest problem though is the composition - you have cropped off the right hand side of the eye, leaving a huge expanse of out of focus nose on the left hand side. Why? I guess you were thinking of the rule of thirds, well in this case you could have broken that rule.

So whats the main element? - ithe baby's ear?
The reflection is just an incidental or secondary element and for a 'reflections' challenge that is not enough.

As a prtrait it also struggles becasue the viewer can't connect with the subject, the eyes are hidden. Just imaging if the baby had just glanced up and caught you taking the pic. Now that would have had some impact.

For a reflections challenge - I can only ive it a 4 - sorry

The simple literal reflection, but presented updide down, doesn't really work.
Its competent enough, but has no inspiration.
