Very nice -- textures, shades, composition, light. The blur on the left foreground bothers me a little.

First brown study I seen yet in this challenge. Eyes, hair, quilt, and not accomplished with sepia. Good going, and btw, cute girl and nice composition.

Brown = Chocolate - Hershey's Kisses

I like the idea, but not the focus. Also the brown isn't very brown on my monitor -- sort of black with magenta highlights.

Pretty darn cute, and a little brown too. Love the attitude.

This is sadly very funny. I hate to say I'm afraid you are correct in your assessment. There's not much I can say about the photo except it is lovely.

Little Things for Empty Spaces

I only gave this a 5 because the focus bothers me. Not only the OOF people, but the items on the table are hard to make out. What I do like about it is the little boy looking longingly at something on the table.

Get your Christmas Cheer Here

I'm afraid I helped to spoil your score. I gave this a 5. The reason was that it seemed cluttered. I think I would have liked it better if it was not just a photo of a sign and decorations, but somewhere I could actually go for the product (Christmas cheer). In other words, I'd like to see what could be done by including the door in the shot.

So Much Labor, This Palmetto Rose: For You, $3.00

I don't have much to add to the comments below. I like this a lot, especially his concentration and the lighting. I agree that the red in his face (especially his ear) is over saturated. I gave this an 8 during voting. It's a good photo for your portfolio, where the rules don't apply, because the black background is very effective.

Odd One Out at the Farmer's Market

Very clever to have changed the odd pepper to green. I would never have thought of that. That's the difference between a good photographer and an artist and ribbon winner. BTW, I do not agree with those comments that said the color and exposure aren't right. They look perfect on my monitor. Congratulations on your well deserved blue!
