Not sure about this shot. I find the photo a little boring, even for a macro/still life. I think some more dynamic light might have helped and a smaller aperture.

Iceberg, Right Ahead!

Wonderful picture. The clouds almost seem a reflection of the iceburg. The whole photo just works. Great job.

Rule of thirds, but not rule of thirds. Don't think too much outside the box. :) Really though, it fits the challenge nicely. People harp too much on the horizontal. Generally if a photo "feels" right, then it is following the Rule of Thirds. The composition works well. I think I might have preferred the people to be pure silhouettes in this case, but an excellent entry.

Spoons

I think this was one of the better thought out ideas in the challenge. Yes, simple spoons but done in a way that really works. The colors and "shinyness" of the photo are excellent.

Great simple street scene. You really captured the essence of being on the subway.

A very nice moody pick. You did an amazing job considering the wide dynamic range.

Photos like this are great for the challenge. Rules of Thirds used throughout the image. This is the true spirit of the challenge.

Curious how a face as the reflection might have looked instead of a tree(though I am biased toward people/animals :)

Still a great shot!

Watching the Sun Rise

Probably the one of the best "rule of thirds" in a landscape in the challenge. I really liked this image. I think the colors work well with the two individuals watching the sunset.

I think this is a well conceived shot Blue Moon. The thumbnail looks marvelous. As mentioned, focus is the issue here. However, I am the type of person who overlooks one small aspect for the overall photo. And I think this is a good photo. The idea is good, the composition is good, the patterns/lines are good. Personally I would have given you a 7 in the challenge. I personally can overlook the focus issue.
