Interesting composition. The book says to have the subject moving into the picture, but I like this moving out.

This is beautiful. Your small subject is definitely strong. I like this one a lot!

its a good shot, though you fell victim to having the frame split in half. Nex time, when composing the shot, place the man at intersecting thirds. This will give a greater impact on the photo. I know that this was a basic challenge, but perhaps you could do some slight burning of the clouds to give them some impact. Maybe even some levels might make them jump out some more.

Nice use of color. The bright red umbrella against the desaturated sky and ocean really catches the eye, and the red sands break the tedium.

great shot. I think the background boats are a little soft. try a larger depth of field.

I love the brilliance of this, you might want to try it cropping about the right third though to put even more emphasis on those flowers.

I really like this. Hopefully people aren't seeing this as just another floral. In my top 5.

Very strong composition, but the focus is a little on the soft side for my taste. Good use of complimentary colors.

Wish you had a deeper DOF to get the flowers further back in focus as well. Nice blue/orange contrast.

Fantastic colors, but the focus is just a tad soft on this one.
