Caught in a bubble

As a photo, everything looks good. I'm pretty sure you pasted that fishy in the 'bubble' so unless I'm wrong...nice job with the edit, which I think was half the challenge. (Not used by most entries)

The Red Planet

Somebody has GOT to be from Utah or at least visited it recently...hmm? Anyway, your 'photos' rock...literally! I think of all the photos in the challenge (though yours does have some flaws [like mine does too - it's very similar in ways]), your photo is the total essence of the challenge and the best presented imho. I don't (or rarely) vote in challenges I enter but if I did, you'd get a fat honkin' 10 from me. I think a little blur along the hard edges would have blended the layers together a little more realistically...that is all. Love it...nice work!

Looks harsh and like an old-timey photo. Any use of expert editing? I don't think so...which would take away from the score I'd give you if I were voting. Good luck to ya!

The glacier

Comment:
Very cool. Even though it looks like a basic snapshot with no use of expert editing...I still like it. Fits challenge well. I like the noise. I don't vote in challenges I've entered, or rarely do so - if I were voting this time around, I'd give your photo a 10.

Well..I don't think so but...? I'm not voting anyway. The photo looks like basic editing and I see alot of gradient in the sky.

The Living Sea

I'm sorry, imho, the 'Living' Sea is not harsh. I'm not voting in this challenge so you don't have to worry about me.

Nothing here shall grow...

You should go up there and dump some sand in the oil-fill tube. Some little pebbles too! Just don't say I told you to! (wink)

Winter dunes

Comment:
They look just like summer dunes to me. Except, what is that stuff growing on them? And is that...water? What is water doing pooling by dunes? Unheard of...where is this strange land! I must get my ATV there sometime...unless it's one of those environmentally off-limit places. Anyway, it basically looks snap-shotish and no use of the expert editing rules that I can see...disappointment...imho. I'm not voting and despite what you may have thought from my above comments, I'd give your photo an 8.

Chemical Shelf

It's not the best photo or interesting like I'd frame it and hang it on my wall, but, it certainly meets the challenge well - better then most imho. The colors are great too. I don't vote in challenges I participate in, if I were voting in this challenge, I'd give your photo a 9.

Now that's just sweet! I'm sorry to say, the 10 I want to give you is for naught - I rarely vote in challenges I participate in so...? Good luck to ya!
