Although it's part of architecture (right?) is has a wooden feel about it. I think it would have done much better in the challenge than your entry

A wonderful warm feeling occurs when I look at it - congrats on the yellow (which is already visible in you picture btw)

Can't believe that this shot didn't scored better than mine - it's just great. Like the soft beginning of a day
Congrats on the red!

Andy Warhol - 1971 - Hunky Dory Album

I didn't enter but IF then this would have been my idea too. Thought it would score higher though.
You did a great job, Diane! I have only one little point of nitpicking: Maybe if the lettering "David Bowie" was vaulting a little bit it would be simply perfect!

Clouds are not the cheeks of angels, you know They're only clouds

This is lovely - the clouds in the angelic light combined with the silhouette of the mountains, I was one of your 7
Sorry to hear about your shoulder issues - get well soon!

This is a refreshingly different take on abstract. I wonder how you accomplished that zigzag pattern and hope you tell us in your description.

a lovely scene - beautiful colours and great movement of the clouds
But I don't fancy the extreme distortion which is most irritating on the tree

Haha, these kids are great models! Unfortunately this shot is missing adequate light, seems a bit dull and too yellowish to me. And the ornament on the tiles draws too much attention on it

Reaching Towards Fame

This was at a performance, right? The possibilities to actually frame this shot were limited so you did quite a nice job on the given circumstances ( I tried to shoot at a dancing performance myself and know how hard it is)
Nevertheless I want to tell you why I rated this only 5:
I don't like her hand cropped off, the spare room above her head is missing at the bottom. The light on her face is not ideal since it is mainly on the turned away side. The cut between blue and black background is running right through the second girls head - would have been nice to have a consistent bg. But I like the determined expression which you picked up nicely in your title

perfectly contrasted from the background, well done. I wonder if it would be even better if the whole tail was visible
