Actually a very good shot - nice lighting and colour on the ball. No awards for originality but it looks pretty! [6]

Yup, I like this. Not a work of technical genius but I like the view, the symbol (and I'm all for recycling!). I'd like to see what it looks like with a tighter crop to lose the context - [6]

Although quite crude in its technique, I like this. In a mass of clean images this does stand out. You'll miss votes due to departure from the brief, but it gets a [6] from me.

Very nice composition. Perhaps a little too washed out though? Having said that the overall effect is quite stark which may be what looks best. Focus is a little unsharp. [7]

Nice point of view. I wonder if this would look better centred and filling the frame more since the interest is in the shape and texture? Less context would aid the artistic nature of the image.

Looks like you need to improve your aim or cover the pond! Nice crisp image but it could have been more interesting with a lower angle so that the balls overlapped each other (smallest then steadily larger). The reeds would have become more involved too and the viewer would have been quite challenged with what they were looking at - particularly if there were some reflections.

Nice texture but I think your focus could have been more interesting if it was further back towards the outer edge of the ball.

Cute subject matter. There's a bit too much noise though and it may have been better to reduce the image achieving better definition. More natural light would have helped too.

Nice bonsai! Grow them myself. The bleached background adds much to the shot without actually overexposing the main subject. It's a striking image, although I would perhaps have cropped out the pot since the illusion of a normal sized tree is slightly lost. [7]
