What's happened to the bg colours? Is it a filter or bad compression? The composition needs a little more room at the top and less at the bottom for good balance.

Have you considered a square crop for this shot (taking off more from the right)? I think it might work a little better by taking the sun out of the dead center. That being said, I really like the natural color tones and reflection.

The heavy contrast and color sat work well here. Nice job on the editing and composition.

The contrasting colors are just awesome to look at. Well done. I just dont know how well flower shots are going to do with so many in this challenge. Good Luck.

This feels very desolate! Definitely works well in B&W. The color version is kinda cool, too, but this is definitely more suited to the challenge. I like overall composition - can't see anything I'd change on it. Technically I suppose some might want it a bit sharper, but I like it soft - gives it a dreary feel, which is pretty much what I think you were after. Really should have scored higher.

Very good composition and color in this! Definitely has the "pop" factor - well seen!

Trading Post - I scored this a 5. Met the challenge for sure and his expression is funny. The colors seem a bit unnatural on his face and the it seems to be oversharpened as a whole. Maybe it was just the lighting. Caught some cool textures in the rocks but oberall not enough interest to garner a higher score.
