Ohhhh....so pretty. There are some wonderful shots in this challenge and this one is no exception. The light play here makes me weak in the knees. It's just THAT gorgeous. I hope you do very, very well. Good Luck!

Nice. Love the colors in the sky. Beautiful. The flag is a little distracting and the tower seems maybe noisy or grainy somehow but the subject, colors and even placement(minus the flag) are wonderful.

wow. Certainly twisted. DOF, clarity, lighting..all that's good. I keep tilting my head to the right to look at it. for some reason my brain thinks it should be rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. weird.

Interesting. Would probably look very cool without all the leaves and such behind it. It's pretty distracting. I wonder if there would have been room to slide a piece of posterboard under/behind it or something. That would have probably made it look less like a snapshot.

I'm not sure what the curvy object is but it's cool. What would make this better for me is if it wasn't blown out quite so much. I do like the contrasty look and some blown out areas would be nice just seems like a little too much. Also, if the person were within the arch that would have been awesome. Still very cool though.

I like this alot. Great textures, and the border looks nice. I think i'd prefer it without the slight tilt that causes the planks to not line up perfectly but otherwise great capture.

Great subject. It has some wonderfully twisted and curvy lines. I'd love to see a macro of just the 4 or so swirly knots close together there near the bottom right of your photo. Those could make a wonderfully artsy abstract. As is it seems a bit dark or dull and the composition leaves something to be desired. Just needs some jazzing up in my opionion.

WoW! This capture is really awesome! It's so much to look at. One of those shots I could stare out for a very long time and just constantly find new things to love about it. I seriously hope the voters are taking the time to really look at this and give you the wonderful scores it deserves. This is the type of shot that could get overlooked and underratted by those fast voters. Good Luck!
