Nice muted colors. The crop feels a bit off to me -- lime a bit too centered and bottom edge snipped off. But I like the image as a whole.

The Scream

Great idea, Peter, and well done. You've done variations of The Scream before. Is there something you are trying to tell us? :/

Mother with stroller and child

Oooo, this is what I like!! I gave it a 9. I wish more people agreed with me. It doesn't make me dizzy at all -- probably because I am not trying to bring it into focus. I just enjoy the lines, colors, shades and general composition -- all of which I like.

Still with Motion a Moving Vessel.

You almost got the 'Momentary Lapse of Sucking' punishment! Hard to believe this was straight from the camera -- the color, focus, and exposure are all so perfect. I really like the colors and the reflections. Thanks for sharing the camera settings.

Much better, especially the crop. The white balance adjustment really helps too. There are still a few spots in the background that could be cleaned up. And maybe taking it all the way to B&W would help. This still seems a little pinkish.

I like this much better. I thought I would like the darker one better, because of the nature of the subject, but this image really pops -- beautiful contrast.

Swinging Into Oblivion

I think I like the softer look of the original. The horizontal flip will probably work better for most people who prefer action to travel from left to right. (I'm dyslexic, so I don't care about left and right.)

trees with moon

You got robbed by a bunch of know-it-alls who tried to second guess your exposure time. If they had checked your EXIF data, they would have seen the 1/2 sec. shutter speed. I like the shot and think the moon is lovely, and the silhouette of the trees is just right. I can see the trees clearly on my monitor. (And I can see the full range of shades in the scale below the image on the voting page too. So I think someone else's monitor needs calibrating.)

light show

I don't know why I didn't leave a comment when I gave this a 10. I really like the colors and pattern. It's a beautiful and exciting abstract. Great use of long exposure. I'm curious to know how you got the individual light spots instead of a blur of light streaks.

A Moonlit Night With Ike

I'm back to say, this was my favorite of the challenge -- I gave it a 10. It really stood out from the rest. I'm glad you explained how you did it, because I really couldn't understand how this artistic effect was achieved without post processing.
