Things seem a bit too high in contrast to me. I swear I've seen this picture before too... strange.

Fall in New Hampshire

There's some pretty bad noise in the sky. The image also seems a bit small, so maybe it's from compression.

I like the softness of this. It's got a very ephemeral and dreamy feel to it.

Very nicely done smoke shot. I especially like how many different "layers" there are to things... how they all overlap and go through each other.

Great detail and overall I like this, but the light banding on the petals takes a bit away.

I was wondering what it was... I assumed it was some sort of enging based on the "mouth" but couldn't place the engine. Good job and congrats on the top 10.

I really like the "antique" sort of feel to things. It's a bit sepia but not quite. I like the feel of things. It reminds me somewhat of the images my 50mm 1.8 E series lens takes. A definitively different look to the image. Be it processing or be it gear/technique, your result is very pleasing. The hints of blue to the black really set things off nicely from the cream background.

The Lookout

On camera flash gives nice eyes but very unappealing lighting otherwise. Your sky has a bit of noise going on in it that could be dealt with better, and seems to be underexposed. Consider a stop or so increase for the shutter.

My first inclination is to think this is an entry from Yo_Spiff, though I can't say I want to know why you have a barbie (assuming I'm correct).
Regardless, amusing shot.
