What an interesting find, and I can quite see why you were drawn to photograph it. The muted colours swirling into each other are amazing, and I find myself studying the picture to look for identifiable shapes, in much the same way as I look at flames in a fire. There is a real sense of movement about the image, despitethe fact that it is of something entirely static. For this particular photograph I do feel that you needed somewhat sharper focus - I suspect the light may have been such that you rellay needed the use of a tripod.

A really interesting photograph that I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring. It is a bit of a shame thta the sweatshirt wearing figure is just visible behind the scales, but nonetheless a good documentary style photograph.

Well composed landscape that leads the eye around and back into the picture.

A bold image that I suspect would have good Stock potential.

Love the pose and the look on the models face. The tonal range is superb, from white through to black. For me there is something wrong about some of the edges - a slight shadowing - oversharpening perhaps? Nonetheless, a beautifully presented nude.

The light on the horses is beautiful, but I do find myself distratced by the large expanse of blue sky. Have you considered a panoramic style crop? The more I view the photo with the top masked off the more I like it!

What a super robin photo - so much detail in the feathers. It is a shame thta he didn't do you the favour of lighting on a more aestheically favourable stand! I love the close up, but would have liked just a tiny bit more room at the top. Despite my criticisms, a lovely photo that I would be very happy to receive as a Christmas card!

Focus and exposure is good, but I do have some doubts aboutthe composition. The baubles have been arranged in such a way as to suggest you intended them to act as a lead in line to the main subject, but for me their placement actually acts as a barrier. In terms of colour, you haven't really played to the challenge, but nonetheless you have a nice photo for the family album.

I had hoped - and expected to see this rank much higher; my favourite of the challenge.

Blimey, I didn't have this down as yours, Debs - you found (and processed for) some colour! It was in my top two of the challenge, and I came back to view it several times during voting.
