My comment below was a compliment, probably not expressed well enough. One of my top two picks in the challenge.

This is extra creepy, but well done. Hope you'll post a tutorial on this one, because I can't imagine how you pulled it off in basic. Worthy of a PF album cover, though would like just a bit stronger composition with more breathing room below the bottom "soul." 8.

Very nice clear, simple shot with good color and light. Interesting that the rose is already preparing for Spring.

It should have scored higher, but what's new there? Some people just don't want to accept that there can be interpretations of the challenge that are different than theirs. (Hmmm... maybe that's why there is so much fighting going on in the world today -- people just won't allow alternative ideas.)

This is an amazing photo. I gave it an 8 and in looking at it further wish I'd scored it even higher. First, it's an amazing capture. But amazing captures are often difficult to turn into amazing photos. Yet you succeeded brilliantly. The mist, the sun and the birds all come together for a beautiful, almost ethereal combination. This most assuredly does not suck. Congratulations on your score, but mostly on such an outstanding photo for your portfolio.

That's really a cool shot. The eye is wonderful.

I take it the water was flowing, and that made the ripples? Looks like it's been glazed. Very nice effect.
