I like this one a lot - one of my 10s.

Beautiful juxtaposition and I think the subdued tones are a good choice - gives a certain sense of wistfulness to the image.

I like the quality of light here - looks like it could be an oil painting. Well done!

This has a lovely, quiet atmosphere. Nicely composed, and good sense of depth conveyed, with the zigzags of birds, and the barely perceptible landform in the background. One of my 10s for the challenge.

The nature of stark silhouette shots make it hard to convey joy, but you did a dang fine job of it, here. :)

I thought this was beautiful, and the title is very apt. Glad to see this was from a TSer!

Unusual effect, I do feel as if I'm looking through a highly reflective window. As a personal preference, I would like to see more of the rocky beach at the bottom right than that section of yellow.

This texture has a fitting feel to it, given the subject. I can imagine a whole study, like for some manufacturer's furniture collection, done up in this style.

Wow - took me a moment before I registered that I was looking at a reflected image. I like the cracked-plaster texture, really suits it.

This image is positively meaty, if you excuse the expression. Lots of depth and emotion - you may have more of a knack for this than you might think. One small quibble, just a personal preference - I find myself wanting to see the right eye and fingers more, that are currently obscured by one of those green leaves. If you are so inclined, there is a way you can erase the texture overlay from areas where you'd rather not have it - haven't tried it yet myself, but I've heard about it! :)
