The tops of the chess pieces give this some context, really excellent

Nice leading lines/vanishing point. I'd love to see how it looked with some tonemapping/Lucis/Topaz. (Assuming it's not had any treatment)

I love the composition of this one Deb. The line of mini hyacinth through the middle of the tulips is very nice.

Been back over the older still life challenges and have to say, I think this is one of the best out of the previous 4 rounds!

Greetings from the Critique Club

Sorry this did not score higher, I thought it was one of the more interesting images in this challenge. Also, check out the distribution of scores - that is really interesting. No 9s or 10s and no 1s or 2s, then an almost even distribution of the other scores. Quite unusual I think.

I love the composition, even though I'm sure this is a candid shot, it could conceivably have been a set up. The man looks so engrossed in his newspaper it is clear he is blissfully unaware that you have caught him. Nice.

I am a little unsure why this didn't score higher, other than perhaps there was too much (or maybe not quite enough) of the canal boat showing. Perhaps voters needed more context? I don't know, it certainly puzzles me. I would have expected the score to be much closer to a 6.
