Image comes off as out of focus. Pretty sky colors though. 5.

I'm not a fan of the bright green border. It pulls my eyes to either side rather than has me focusing on the picture. I don't like to count off much though for choice of borders as I too have gone with colored ones that have not been found favorable. The image is very nice. I find the greens on the bottom third of the photo to be a little over saturated. Score: 6.

I'm sorry, but this is a DNMC (did not meet challenge) entry. The challenge is looking for a Landscape that was shot vertically. I would think that you meant to submit this in challenge for Portrait In Landscape Format. So, it gets a 1 do to DNMC, but it is a cute photo of the girl.

Not sure if it was intentional, but you appear to have placed this in landscape format rather than in portrait format.

Sunny Autumn Morning at Cedar Bluff

Comment:
The post processing elements on this one appear to be a bit too strong. The skyline comes off a bit "fake" and the edge of the top of the trees looks oversharpened.

The saturation on the greens is good, but I would like a bit more vibrant colors in the yellows/oranges. They come off a little flat against the vivid greens. Score: 6.

The Fall

I like the composition a lot but not the angle of the shot. I feel like I'm falling to the left to try to see the photo. It has dramatic effect, but it takes away from the image.

As a viewer, I would have preferred to see the opposite of this where the beautiful folliage was in focus and the foreground was out of focus as a silohuette.

Peace Valley Park

I like the unique crop, not sure if others will. This is definitely a landscape in portrait per the challenge, but the subject matter doesn't really have enough color contrast to draw my eye to anything in particular. I think it may have been just a little too late in the season so this composition missed some possible good colors in the trees. Of course that too would have been out of the submission timeline. I just think the composition needs a little work. Score: 5.

Colors of Fall

This one would do very well in the reflective challenge that was just released too. This is a very nice shot. Well done. I love the yellow folliage. I'm not crazy about the Depth of field on the redish leaves as the come off blurry (as they would if focus is on the yellow) but they are such a rich color that my eye is taken to them as another strong subject but finds them out of focus which is slightly disappointing. Overall score: 8
