This would be a 10 except the text overlay is too hard to get. 9, though. :)

So - is this Zeke Smith?

It's a nice composition, but a little low contrast. More importantly, the lengthy text piece is very hard to read because of the red color, the drop shadow, the italics, and the placement. Straight white would work better.

Sorry, this is my first "did not meet challenge" vote. They don't have to be travel advertsiements, but in the title you could've told us what the point of the card would be. Sympathy after a death? Reminder of spring? Faded but still going? What?

Looking at it purely as a photo, it's out of focus and quite low in contrast. Maybe rotating it so the dead head is in the upper left and the bloom is more centered might increase the visual interest.

Vasco da Gama Bridge

Wow. I'll go so far as to predict a ribbon for this. Lighting, composition, contrast are all perfect. 10.

Pretty as is. But if there were stars above, and the bridge were moved down a bit, you'd have a ribbon-quality shot. If you can't find stars, or they don't come through haze, add 'em and sell it as a print. :)

Lights on - Iceland

Oooo pretty. But why is the text blurry? And there's a lot of noise. Try running a noise reduction program on it and adding the text later.

Ooo - alllmost. The idea, placement of the chairs, and sunset are all good. But it seems washed out. Bump up the contrast and I bet you'd have a stunner.

Brunswick, GA

Sorry. Although IR can be an interesting technique, to me a postcard is about showing a place off. Here, you make southern GA look like a winter wonderland. I can imagine the tourist who saw this wondering where the snow went.
