First off Kashi, let me just say I love your portraits! Really good stuff.

Couple of things on this one. First there is a slight tinge of blue/purple. Not sure if that was the intent, but a little more warmth would really make the picture pop. While I like the depth of field to isolate the subject from the background, I think a bit more a stop or two more to add focus for the entire front grass head would add a bit more impact. It is somthing that is tough to see in the viewfinder, so maybe a couple shots with different apertures so you can evaluate later on the computer. I think the use of the frame is nice and the repeating lines works well. Even though I knocked the WhiteBalance earlier, the overall color palette really works well.

Still a well conceived capture. Hope that helps.

This is simply breathtaking. Score was severely understated. A one of a kind image. Terrific.

Super shot. Might to to process it with a bit less green. But still very very nice!

Well I think this is good, though that isn't saying much. I like the intent of the art work. Taking shots of art is always tough as you are going to get critics who will vote you down just because of that. I think it is a good take on the challenge and it does fit the challenge very well.

Hmmm, I think this was underscored. The textured wall really gives a sense of place along with the nice pink contrast. Love the lighting on the wall. At first I thought the shot might have been too compressed in the frame, but really it does have good movement. A very nice shot.

Cool Still-Life. I like this, outside of the norm but still fitting the challenge very nicely. Feels like I am looking up just a bit, but nothing that takes away from the composition as a whole. Superb shot (mid-6 material in my book).
