Bishop's Cap Cactus in Red

Pretty cool. I Googled 'Bishop's Cap Cactus': too bad you didn't find one with it's flowers. That would have been awesome! As is, the edit is just slightly strange and not natural looking to me. I still like it: 8

I don't know why this photo appeals to me so much. The bench with the blanket on it (far left) is the only downfall (to me): 8

First Star I See Tonight

At first, I wanted to vote this down. Like the sunset challenge that the winners seems focused on the seascape rather then the actual sunset, this photo looks like a photo of a sunset rather then stars. Like those 'Sunset' photo, this is excellent too. The 'Fist Star' brings it into the challenge more but what really captures my interest is that it really looks like there's a HUGE star floating on the horizon. So, I'm going with a 10 for this one.

What's keeping this from being a 10? I think there are some bright white spots that could have been blurred down a bit. As is: 9

Sunset Star

I like the photo, the contrasting colors are great as well as the sense of depth that I get. The edges of the clouds around the light blue is strange: 9
