Pure Morning Days Dawning

This shot is very appealing up to the point where the nice purple shades fade into a very unnatural looking blue. A tighter crop, with less ground beneath and lopping off the top where the clouds end would work much better. Good luck.

A Beautiful "Good Morning"
by TristeLeucosia

Looks pink to me. Setting that aside, portions of the main flower are overexposed. Consider a different composition as well. Something that gives the eye something to lock on to or things to move the eye around. This appears as a mash of pink and green locked in by black. Oddly enough, I do see a couple of spots of purple back in those shadows. Good luck.

Turn off the datestamp. As you're headed for DQ, I'll just offer that you could back off the sharpening quite a bit. Good luck.

Lone Berry
by Kelli

Comment:
The purple berry, presumably your subject, might work just a bit better had you moved over to the side it is on and then taken the photo. As it is, there is this large, red, out of focus branch in the way with a little bit of a berry trying to make an appearance behind it. Good luck.

Hosta Bloom (with ants)
by fordmanf1

Comment:
Looks like you were trying to focus on the ants? Not sure, but pretty much everything in this shot is out of focus with the exception of the white things jutting out of the flower. At least the flower with the ants on it should be in focus and draw the eye in. At the same time, there is a lot of detail to be mad eout in the background which makes for a cluttered composition. Good luck.

Sacred Sky

Nice idea, composition needs some work. Rotate it so either the horizon or the horizontal bar of the cross is level. Scoot over a little and shoot it so there isn't that little bit of tree branch nudging its way in on the upper right. Maybe shoot from just a bit higher? Overall not bad, but really has a lot of potential to be even better.

Shades

This doesn't work for me. Great looking girl, great crop, well shot - then you colored her purple. It's just unsettling. Lips, fingernails, sunglasses - little bits and pieces purple would have worked well but the whole thing inked out in shades of purple just isn't doing it for me. Nice concept though. Good luck.

It's Curtains for You
by Virginia Leone

Comment:
Nicely done. Soft lighting with a lot of interesting shapes to look at. I think this could look even better if the 'boring' part of the curtain on the right, where the light lines are mostly gone and the seam of the curtain dominates, were cropped out. Good luck.

Purple Rain
by paullyjay

Comment:
Awful lot of black in this photo which doesn't really do anything for it. The orangeish street lighting behind the car also detract from what could have looked very glossy and slick. I see rain drops on the rear window, I'm wondering how a closeup of the droplets on a piece of glass framed by some of the purple body would have looked? As it is, the shot doesn't really give my eye anything to latch on to. There are some shapes being formed by the purple lines but there is just too much other stuff going on to give those shapes a chance to jump out. Good luck.

I will never understand why people submit shots smaller than the maximu allowed size. Setting that aside, this is nice crisp shot of the flower. The bee is a bit blurry. Parts of the upper right flower petal are overexposed (or have been blown out in processing). The more I look at this the more I keep staring at that bee, wishing it were in better focus. Good luck.
