I thought my own entry was doing well, but I expect this to trounce mine by a WIDE margin. Lots of effort, creativity and just some damn good photography. I am humbled. A 10 and a fave.

Along The Wall

Comes off to me a touch dim, but otherwise a nice scene. I wonder if you'd tweaked it to enhance the details of the bark and rock, how that might look. Might make a nice b/w.

I like it except for the yellow component in the grass and shrubs being too strong for my personal preference.

Cool location. Got any more from here that you can post after the challenge?

Water and trees in the rain

A pleasant location, but what appears to be midday sun is tough on it. I'm not sure the composition works with me. Can't quite nail it down though. It seems like my eye stops at the top of the little cascade, and it not drawn anywhere else.

The vignette makes it look like I am looking through the peephole on a door, but this is clearly growing on a road median. Not sure about that effect.

Not sure if the movement blur comes off with me well or not. I do like the scene overall, though. It draws me in.

Spread the red

Sorry, but I'm afraid I have to give a fairly low vote to this, but I feel I at least should explain it.

-The mailbox being cut off like it is, is a serious composition problem. If there were only a touch of it visible, like the post, that might be seen as incidental, but it is trying to be the main subject and has the top lopped off.

-Serious JPEG compression is robbing detail. I suspect nobody else will see that, but I am a little anal about it and can spot compression at 20 yards. Your files size of only 62k confirms heavy compression, especially for a detailed subject like this. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (200k for this one)

I think if the view was pulled back some, this may have worked a lot better.

A creative approach. Not sure if the lighting totally works.
