Love the stark white of the iceberg against the red house with white trim. Excellent lighting.

This is just too centered (and I like centered). To me, it seems to want to be a diagonal path leading sunward. Even offsettng the sun/sailboat left / right 1/3 would be better.

Reminds me of childhood in Oregon and hiking the "big hill" in early spring looking for the "shooting stars" as my mom called them. Makes me smile. Nice photo. I think a bit less shallow DOF that would have the near bud also in focus would have been better.

dew drops

For this to work, the focus on the flower in the drop has to be very sharp. The sharp focus in the top droplet is the tree at the bottom of the drop. Also, the shot looks grainy to me. I think the reflection on the top of the drops adds to the picture, as does the almost-solid yellow background. You might run this through a purple fringe filter (it that's legal in basic).

Twin Sunrise

This is just slightly tilted, but enough to be very distracting for me. The strong and straight vertical lines make the tilt more obvious. Beautiful color and saturation in the reflected sunrise.

I'm disappointed this didn't finish much better. To me it was the top shot of the challenge. It captures a feel, and not just an image.

I hate phone poles. They insist on being right in the middle of the best shots.
