Nice shot here, plenty of action. Could use a little more contrast to get the guy and his jet ski to jump out from that wall of water. Well composed and a rare instance of a border that doesn't bother my eyes. Nice photo, good work. 5.

If he was paddling, he would not be quite as out of shape as he looks. Nicely frozen action and good focus there. 7.

This is a simply breathtaking landscape that has some very fine elements that depict a sense of zen and some fabulous contrasts. Most particularly of interest to me is the contrast of the stillness of the lake against the rough rocks and the earthy colors of the lake/grass versus the coolness of the sky. There are a lot of points of interest here and each one of them have been rendered exceptionally well technically. The low light really helps set the mood and there is a nice stillness and sense of calm. I don't however get that inner zen feeling from viewing the image but I think its exquisite all the same. I gave a 7.

Very, very busy photo. Looks to be a bit oversharpened and there is simply too much for they eye to focus on. Shallower DOF maybe, cutting off right behind that little ornament. Overall it's just too busy (and a bit too dark) to promote the sense of serentiy, balance and harmony that is the goal of the challenge. 4.
