Nice job with the long exposure and whites. The icicles add an interesting element to this shot as well. The only thing I wish is that there were more of a total focal point - I'd really like to see the area where the water spills over the top of the cliff. Nice job, though, especially with a tough subject.

I get a real chuckle out of this, maybe because it reminds me of a lot of guys I knew in high school/college. Not that many women don't also appreciate classic cars. :-)
Creative take on the challenge, nice sharp focus, nothing wrong with the technicals aside from area of blown lighting, which other commenters have already noted.
That being said, I think this is a photo that appeals mainly to those who appreciate these types of cars - which is reflected in your scores.
If you buy it, enjoy tearing up the Utah roads with this baaaaaad piece of machinery!

I've got to commend you - it took a pair to enter this shot. Of jeans, that is :-) That aside, I'm not sure what emotion you were aiming to convey. Although the act itself would be interpreted by many as sexy, the feeling is more utilitarian. Which maybe was your point. Fingers look a little oversharpened on my screen, but the focus is dead on. Interesting entry!

Truly lovely. The shadows from the bicycles, the interaction of the people and the sunburst add up to a terrific composition.

This is just gorgeous! The composition is outstanding and the colors just pop and sizzle. Wonderful job.

What a cutie, even if he is being bad :-)
Nice rich colors in this shot, and good sharp focus, which can be difficult indoors. One thing that I think would make a big difference would be use of fill flash on this - full flash would be too much, and most likely blow the colors on his head, but a fill flash focused on his head would nicely highlight, I think.

Bummer about the DQ - this is a really interesting, Dali-esque photo. I think this would sell well. Wonderful lighting and composition.

I didn't vote in this challenge, so I'm just now seeing this photo for the first time. Looks like a hideous storm! Hope you and your family didn't end up with lasting damage from it.
As a photo, the composition isn't bad, and the colors/focus are very sharp. There is something that feels a little "smooshed" about it, but maybe that was your intent? If not, a bit more sky would help open it up IMO. Must have been one cold photo op :-)
