a little to much saturation for my taste....but well done over all.

This almost looks like daylight.

One step further to the right would have freed up the funnel slide from the tree. Otherwise, good composition and lighting. Great idea for this challenge.

Nice shot. Seems a little soft.

Hey Sonya,

Great macro shot. You might want to use a tool like Neat Image (free demo) to get rid of some of the noise. Other than that, great capture.

Nice framing. Good colors. Soft focus.

Neat. Focus is an issue here. Other then that. 9.

Comment by Zed Pobre:
Interesting colors, but the scene seems slightly out of focus, the highlights on the left of the structure are blown and glare distractingly, and that lone red light also seems randomy misplaced. Having the tree cut off the shot like that also doesn't help. If you'd shot from a few feet to the right, exposed half a stop less, and then sharpened, that would have helped immensely.

I think you captured the challenge very well.
The composition is weak, by that I mean the tree trunk to the left and the dead red colors. Since this is a basic challenge I don't think you could of done much to help the reds. Also the partial curb seen at the bottom. Over all not bad. Best of luck.
