Well, I'm a real hater of this kind of border, I fear. I just don't get the point of it., and it seems to serve only to distract from the actual photograph.

I thought this would have done better. Not the right *shade* of yellow I guess ;)

Well, it seems that the checkbox will remain unchecked after this challenge. Whenever you use a frame, it tends to polarize the audience - some love it and some hate it. I don't think that this particular image needed framing, but I kind of like the choice of the frame color. The topic corresponds to the challenge. I'd go with a 7 for this one.

I didn't like the title though that doesn't hurt the score with me. The subject seems more of the winning the ribbon than the broken pencil. I thought IMHO that it should have been more on the pencil, to me the book isn't needed. 5

A bit gimmicky, but cute.

I love horse pictures and this one does a nice job with the challenge. The right side of the face and the fence is a little blown out making it a distraction.

A good shot really shows the wind at work around the mane but it is a little contrasty for me

The subtile background and the angle and DOF of the racquet makes this shot work very well. 8
