Enhancement of the colors would have worked nicely for this picture. A bit flat in color otherwise. Good idea.

Beautiful colors coming from the oil in the water, it helps to show the flow of the water.I think maybe cropping the left side of the shot would help the composition.
I think this is the most original non-setup shot of the challenge.

I think all caps is fine in this case ...

Here's a link to the "original" image before applying the color effect to the sphere. The "Fractals" in the title refers to the bamboo branches and leaves more than to the pattern on the sphere. Overall I was happy with the response, or perhaps the lack of what I expected to be a "Too Digital Art!" response ... Thanks for your comments!

Nice placement of the letters, good colors and lighting. The textured background probably is not the best choice to convey simplicity.

Simple on two planes. A good arrangement too. I think you should have tried to postprocess with neatimage or other two get rid of the "aging" on the surface of the letters. That plus the slight reflections make them look less apealing and detract from the shot.

Excellent concept that I wish was carried out differently, as I do not like this combination of subject and background in regards to color. They seem to clash I do like the way the letters are arranged. Also, it appears the lighjting is uneven and there is too much glare coming off the letters.

Great concept, the primary colors are great, and the positioning of the letters give it a simple childlike quality, the only thing I really see wrong here is a small glare, but sometimes that cannot be helped, this is good I like it
