Personally I cannot tell you why it did not score a 6+. I gave this a 7. I love the detail and texture of the rose and it's placement in the frame. It's beautiful!

Love the parallel diagonals of the pic. Love the pastel effect of the whole scene. Congrats on your new personal best!

Can I be the odd one out and say that I did NOT like the sparkling sky? That prompted me to give this a 6 instead of something higher. I think the stadium shot on its own looks fabulous and if you were going to add anything, I think like a sunset or gradient night sky would have been cool. Obviously I am alone in this thought since you scored so well. Congrats on a well received composition!

Hey, this person looks familiar lol. Nice job with doing something different than plant life (like I did lol). Love how the eyes show great concentration.

Hi T! Love the curves of the flowers. The bokeh is great. Just brighten up the flowers and that should add some pop to the pic.

I do like the diagonal created by the whole flower. The detail on the leaves to the left is wonderful. I like how the sharpness of the subject makes it stand apart from the background. Congrats on your top 3 score!

Who cares if people think it's bokeh or not? If you like it, go with it. Personally I think this is a better photo.

Pretty pretty pink, Julianne! Love the composition. I agree with smardaz, just get rid of the noise!

Personally, I am drawn to the big fluffy clouds. Not as powerful as the mountain in the background of course lol. Very nice black and white contrast but I would like to see this in color as well. Nice job!
