excellent as an abstract and I love the slight desaturation

Don, I gave this a 7, because I didn't get the connection to the challenge: otherwise it would have ben an 8. Now I see that I should have just counted the stones, so I guess I was a bit dense when first viewing this. :(

The unusual crop of this picture made it really stand out of the rest in the challenge - it's very fresh. I liked the colours, but I think that you may have overexposed a little bit: the second stone from the top looks like it's missing most of the detail.

Overall, a very nice ornamental picture.

my first 8 to date... I just love this shot.... the way you worked the skin in with the lines of the wood show the eye of a true artist - hope you make it a print!

feels like it's been processed too much - too much sharpen maybe?

Cool idea

It's a nice photo, but I don't see how this is what a mouse would see.

I like the different portrayal of the number 10. The composition is good. Lighting looks good though maybe a smidge too harsh. Focus is okay, though I'm not sure if its so raw and harsh looking just because of the light or if some oversharpening or overcontrasting has been used. The different textures are nice and I like the earthy colors and how they interact with one another. I really enjoy the choice of counting to four to depict ten. I gave a 5

One possible suggestion and one definite one.

Possibly the picture would have worked better in a landscape format with some negative space in front of the canoe. Right now I feel like it's a bit squished on the left there.

Definitely don't rely on in camera adjustments for B&W or sepia. If you have PS you can do so much better on your own. Just check out a few tutorials. I think I would have preferred B&W instead of sepia anyway. Just a hunch. Either way, the contrast on the piling could be done much better to really make it stand out in it's unmovability.

Comment by raish:
These things look almost organic - like they just grew there or something - no wonder you got the sub-5 rush...

I actually think it's an excellent picture. You could have called it 'the flower's point of view' (please don't say perspective) as in: 'Hey, we're not just here to fucking decorate' etc...

Ah, such a beautiful concept! I like the composition of this very well.
