Nice shot, the lighting and colors are fine the tree's in the background are a little distracting IMO.

This falls flat to me. I think it's lacking something to make it pop. The subject, composition, framing - it all is just a little to plain to make it stand out in a crowd.

I love the overall movement going on in this shot. Shallow dof adds interest for me.

Nice shot and processing. Those burdock flowers are really interesting looking. Would love to seen this even closer.

A totally AWESOME photo! Kind of a stretch for 'texture' to me but I'm still going high with a 9.

That was so well seen! As presented it is funny and intriguing - although as a photo, I have to profess to preferring it sideways on!

Comment by Teafran:
A solid entry into the challenge, it meets the criteria in a different and unique way. From a technical standpoint, the image is a more than adequate
with a few minor issues that are not worth mentioning. The artistic impact is rather bland and uninteresting, but the offset viewpoint is a plus. A little more time taken with composition would have given the author a better score.
