Nice panoramic. The trees infront seem unnaturally blurred. Nice contrast in b&w. Beautiful mountainscape.

This image seems a little bit dull. I like how the steeple is peeking out from behind the trees.

The border seems a little bit overpowering. Interesting DOF, I like how sharp the church and town are, yet don't seem oversharpened. Nice composition.

Amazing sky! Nice dark to light blue gradient. Really offset by the brown of the mud flats below. I would like to see a main subject in this shot (for fun), but I do realize that the city is the main subject.

I know it would be really hard to do, but I think it would be cool if the baby was holding the flower. I don't think this shot could have been done with basic editing but it makes it stand out more. I don't see why the title isn't capitalized, but won't affect my score. Interesting shot.

Image seems to have a strange tilt, although it is flat.

Nice landscape. Great lighting, evening I presume, soft lighting. Interesting idea through the title.

I love the reflections! Very peaceful indeed. I like the birds in the reflection of the cute cottage. Nice place to live. Only thing I would change is having the white box (?) and black thing on the lawn to the left.

Thank you everyone. As I said before I really wasn't expecting to take first. But perseverance pays off, and after 30 challenges, I actually ribboned and won. I hope to do this highly in the future, but I with my camera broken right now I have to wait before submitting to future challenges. I thank all of you who voted me this high and left nice comments on a picture that shines God's glory in beautiful place.
