Cool nature shot. For this one, in the sunlight, I can see the shadow detail was enhanced. 7

I love the composition, especially the people going into the station. The shirt of the lady looking into the camera seems over exposed and I wish the guy with his back to us (the one talking to the ladies) was either at a different angle or off to the side more - my eye keeps landing on his butt lol.

In some ways I think this was a hard challenge to meet with 9 being an integral part of the story but you definitely nailed that part of the challenge. Nicely done!

A totally engaging combination of shallow DOF, HDR techniques, and the way you caught the light on the subject. I'm not normally a floral fan, and this is a common subject, but exceptionally well done. I think I am faving it.

Interesting how one small piece of information is all the brain requires to create a story. Great job.

The HDR isn't really noticable in this. But I amke a commitment to try and give posetive feedback even when the photo doesnt exactly meet the challenge description... I like the textures a lot, but the photo just isnt very interesting. The background needs to be filled with something, maybe a lake, of a river setting. And I'd use a photo editing program to add some dynamics to the lighting, that's a bit flat as well.

Nice take on the challenge and bonus point for using the word "plethora" in the title :)

Great perspective .. Whites seem a little more exposed - could be just my monitor ..Just need a tad bit more contrast.. a play with levels and curves would have really brought this image out and made my vote change from a 7 to 8 or 9!
