8 Lives Left?

I like the shot itself, but something about the way it is processed created unappealling sharp halos around all the objects.

A clear message about the evils of littering and a bike. I like it, though I suspect the collective may not agree.

I'm not sure if sympathies or congratulations are in order on this achievement. You landed the brown by quite a margin. Were you intentionally shooting for it?

Julietnn, I presume? You may have another ribbon wrapped up with this...

Shadow over a river Bagmati ....

I'm guessing by the location given in the title, that this may be an entry from Gaurav. I'm afraid I'm going to have to give this one a fairly low vote, sorry. There's not a lot of interest in this shot, and photographing one's own shadow is fairly cliche, imo. I've done it myself, of course and never thought much of those shots. The rocks in the shallow water do have some nice texture, but the whole thing comes off a bit flat looking to me. I think some of the right adjustments could bring that out and give it a little more visual oomph. I would love to see some of the rest of the great scenery that I know you have in Nepal.

Wonderfully minimalist. This image screams bspurgeon to me.

Hudson river, perhaps?

Nice moody shot, but the obvious tilt would have been a very easy fix.
