This is nice. I like the idea that you are turned away from the camera like this. The pink of your dress stands out nicely against the grass (of which I can see almost every distinct blade).

Cool cool cool shot. It looks natural - I like that the green hasn't been oversaturated in PS ... the pink is a great contrast. One of my favorites in the comp.

Very nice image, definately meets the challenge, your focus is fantastic on this image.

The only thing I see that probably hurt you is the shadow and glare both going on in the same area just above the handle of the mug. It distracts from the entire image although it would also be hard to correct.

Very well done.

I feel I got jipped on this one. I felt it deserved higher than 6.0

The Old Barn

This is a really beautiful shot, but something that stands out to me that might be improved upon is the darkness of the barn. It's not quite dark enough to be a silhouette, yet, not bright enough to show any detail. I'd prefer this to be one way or another. Most likely look better as a silhouette. As it is, we can still see SOME of the details of the sides of the barn, but not enough at all to be interesting.
The angle and framing/cropping are good in my opinion. And the color is simply beautiful.
Your focus and clarity are really good. Even though we can't see much detail, the outter lines of the barn are nice and crisp, and we can see a little tiny light to the right of the photo. I also like the way the sky shows through the missing boards of the barn.
I think this qualifies for home. It could be part OF your home. Overall a very nice shot to look at.

I like the texture of the cream as it mixes with the coffee. Interesting shot.
