from me in Posthumous Ribbons

I love the simplicity in this beautiful shot, the patterns and textures are fantastic and the bright background is excellent.

Great action capture, I like the title too! It does make me cringe a little and maybe thats what hurt your score a bit. The guy on the left really adds to the shot as well but that pink 'hot' sign drags my eye out of the photo a bit.

The choice of background colour is really great and I really like the shadows the flower casts. I like the angle and focus but I have to agree with others that the border is a little distracting to me.

I like the red colour against the black, it really isolates the flower nicely but the rough surface of the white is getting too much of my attention.

Yikes! This is a great close up, the detail is really good and the background colour works well for me. It does have a bit of an Ick factor so perhaps that was what put people off!

I think this is a cool idea, I love the set up. I also like the plain white background. I think maybe though there is a little too much in the shot, personally I would have removed the middle tower and positioned the tower on the left in the middle and raised it so it wasn't behind either of the dragons and then have a tighter crop. A little shadow / highlights and increasing the saturation just a little would help the dragons stand out more as well.

This is cool and is a great abstract shot, I really like it. I love the colours, the negative space and the composition. I think I would like to see something a little sharper on the marble maybe, though that could just be how the marble is! Colours are a little saturated but I like that as the black balances it out.

I don't photograph people so feel free to disregard this as I probably don't know what I'm talking about :) but ... I like the head tilt and the sharpness and brightness of her eyes are great and really draws me into the photo ... I think the fence is a little distracting for me, the colour is a little to similar(ish) to her hair and face, maybe the green background all over would work better. Also on the right there seems to be some hair from somewhere else (another person?) which catches my eye and drags it out of the photo

I thought the patterns and textures were really cool in this, and I like how the leaf is composed diagonally. I'm not a huge fan of the background colour and the crop on the left and bottom bothers me just a fraction. I think I'd like the bottom two leaves out of the composition (maybe even cut them off!) and include the whole of the leaf that's tip is just out of the shot.
