I like this photo's use of bokeh. Very effective IMHO. On the otherhand, I thought a couple of the white petals were a bit washed out. This is not my favorite of your work by a long shot. I gave it a 5 because it seemed average to me.

Nice, simple shot. However I am not sure I get the feeling of desolation. I was not able to vote, but would probably been in the 5 - 6 range.

Excellent picture. Wonderful abstract. Super colors and lines. Nice textures. Obviously I am not the only one who thought so, given your high ranking. Well done. I have no idea how to improve on this image. I would have scored this an 8 or 9 had I not been out of town.

This is much better than your original bridge shot, with much more going on in this photo. The postprocessing really makes this photo IMHO. I was out of town and could not vote in this challenge. But I would have given it a 7, possible 8. I'm a sucker for soft postprocessing.

Earth tones

I like this picture. The color and focus are very strong. The lighting seems a bit harsh to me, though. ...I can imagine the table lamp with the shade removed sitting on the floor just out of the frame. A little softer light would have worked better IMHO. I am one of the 94 who scored this a 6. (Interestingly, I chose an earth tone setting for my shot, too. Yours, however is much better.)

I like the idea of this shot and think it has greater potential than what we have here. Good/interesting angle. I like the curves of the frame. But the cat seems a bit blown out in the face and chest and you lost some detail there. Don't like the pesky lamp in the background, but what are you gonna do. ;)

Would have looked better if the white was not over exposed
