I love the sharpnes of those little lines, and the composition with the main portion of the flame being in the bottom right corner of the image. Excellent exposure, good camerawork. 8

One of the best shots of its type in the challenge. Nice clean lines, good focus, and the exposure is about 95% perfect - one tiny little white hot spot, but overall a very moody image that fits the challenge well. Nice use of the entire frame. 8

This goes to show how simple compositions really work well. Great saturated colors, perfect exposure with no blown-out spots on the flames, and nice abstract presentation. One of my favorites of the challenge. 9

Interesting abstract, well seen. I'm a tiny bit distracted by the somewhat uneven lighting, but I'm a big fan of graphic abstract images and like this very much.

This is really a heart-warming image to me. The sweet look on the animal's face, along with that sweet bit of greenery hanging out of its mouth, as if it's chewing on it thoughtfully, as a person might chew on a stalk of grass, really makes the viewer feel connected to the subject. The diagonal lines in the landscape add a strong dynamic to the image, and the absence of almost any bright color other than green really gives this impact as well. I've gone back and forth trying to decide on a score for this, and I've decided overall it's a 9. I hope others appreciate the beauty of this "mundane" creature you've captured as I do.
