Interesting accident! I love the overall contrast of this. There are plenty of darker tones to boost it. I also love those gentle greens at the bases of the grass.

Nature's fireworks

Very interesting capture and title! It surely does look like fireworks. For some reason this looks "soft" focused which certainly could work, but the grass is screaming at me for sharpness...I don't know why, probably a personal problem!

I love the deep red tones in the background that compliment the red tinge in the pinecone so well. In fact, I love the dark background so much I would love it if the front pinecone were completely isolated without the one in the background. The one in the background is sufficienly oof that it certainly doesn't distract from the subject, but those dark reds are so nice.......

Very nice composition! I love the one seed escaping in the wind and the focus on it. The fact that you have an abstract but with something tangible to focus on really works well for me.

Water

Wow, what an awesome composition! When I first saw it I was like, oooh neat that looks like water...then I saw your title and was very pleased that it actually IS water! Anyway, I agree with Karmat that I would crop off the top light border. The thing that makes this so interesting to me is the soft curve and water contrasting with those hard diagonals. Well done.

Very nice texture! I love the simplicity of this and the single tone rather than several colors. Combined with the great patterns it makes for a very interesting composition.

This is a very cool shot! The blue "haloing" effect around the horse? is very interesting..The one thing that bugs me a little is the bright glare on the top, but it also adds to the "interestingness" because it makes it look modern...like some kind of high tech steele. That combined with the "prehistoric" art work is very neat...Also as a side note, I think this needed a little more "padding" around the edges..not such a tight crop on the horse.

Another great window shot! I love the tones in this and the deep dark negative space through the window...the repeating rock patterns really works well too....great shot.

I like the color version better because of the rust and blue paint...also there doesn't seem to be enough dark areas so the contrast is low.

This is a very interesting processing job...I love the blue and red combination of the rust and painted sign. The post in the back and the background looks strange to me though...did you try to clone out part of the post on the bottom?
