Perky creature maybe a bit overprocessed. Maybe a bit better 5.35

It is illegal for advanced editing. So for next time, pls know that three different images wouldn't be allowed but unless challenged or placing in the top five, it would not require validation.

The best bird feeder shot yet and I've taken hundreds.

White on Colours

I love this shot for the tonality, texture contrasts, and color. Sadly, the crop disappoints my eye because I feel a missing impact which could be amplified by framing more precisely - one that relates the lines and shapes intimately with the frame. I see a square crop with the upper and lower edges as they are. The right edge needs to be moved in touching the right of the lavender shape in the upper right corner. The left edge is more flexible but I vote for a square crop with the other three edges fixed. Try it please. Maybe you were going for a rule of thirds comp but there are more things at work in something as well considered as this sensuous creation. Lest you have any doubt, I'm giving this an 8 because it's the best in the challenge, although it could have been a 10.

Impressive detail and high level of monumental drama. More like a 6.49; so I'll provide a seven to help the cause.

Very good drummer shot but these don't seem to do well here. So I would guess about a 5.67 but a seven from me.

Gorgeous tonality and very appealing portrait - underrated by yourself. An easy 6.5 and could be higher. I'll give it a boost with a seven.

I believe this should do more like a 6.28. An enviable capture of good mountains and exceptional clouds. Seven from me.

Good catch of a predator who seems to have caught you too. Should be a 6.2 or higher. Seven from me.
