My favorite so far. I love the colors and the textures and the light. The focus and moment of capture are perfect. And I like the fact that this is a real, unstaged, success.

Terrific shot and perfect for the challenge. As a post challenge improvement, I would remove the white tower in the center and the white sign on the left.

I think this would score better if you used the full size of 640 pixels at 72 dpi. There is a tutorial under Learn on how to prepare the photo for entry in a challenge. But that aside, I like the photo. The sun rays are great, and the hammock and setting are good symbols of success. I think with some post processing work to bring out the colors and contrast, this could be very effective.

I think this is an excellent idea and a good composition. I think a dark background with high contrast would make it stronger. Either dark paneling or just a black backdrop would help. The gray patterned chair is busy and the smoke gives the image a washed out feeling. Also there is a little spot in the upper right corner that should be cloned out to eliminate that distraction. You did a good job of capturing the fire.
