Nice colors and textures. A lot of different textures I like it.
The upper part look empty to me, with the lock going down the 'dynamic' is toward the bottom. you should have frame it differently in my opinion.
Link to the challenge a little weak I think. Without the title the only question is 'what's behind' and I do not see that much how the title relate to the shot.

A very straight forward picture. I like the fact that the lock sticks out so well. The mystery of this photo may be behind the door? What's locked behind there? Nice textures.

Very nice absract, almost painted feel to it. Doesn't shout speed though.

Excellent colors. The bee looks slightly out of focus to me. I'd have liked to seen him bigger in the frame.

I guess he can't find a lady friend, so he has to take it out on the flower. hehe.. Interesting flower. The pink & yellow is very nice. Cute shot =)

Sorry but the joining of the pink tips to 1/3 right side is taking away for the bee.
Great macro shot of the bulb.

Thanks guys for your comments. I know not everyone expects to see a nature shot for "country", but that's what reminds me of country life.
