Appealing green tones. I'm having trouble identifying the reflections.

One of my three favourites in the challenge. I hope it is actually not so good that people fail to realise that it is a reflection (ie that they dont think you took it through an office window). Somewhat like an idea I had for the challenge except much more interesting and vibrant. Great colours and composition. I hope this does brilliantly for you 9

I had to look around the results of this photo to try and understand why it placed where it did. It really didn't deserve a 5.3, but there's some great photos that placed above it. There's some not-so-great ones up there too, but they're the typical DPC crowd pleasers to which I say "eh..."

This is an absolutely beautiful scene. If the foreground tree wasn't where it is, I'd have no qualms with the composition, but as it is, I want to push it out of the way.

Your processing does seem a bit rough. You say there was "minimal doinking," but it looks over sharpened. I love the colors though. One thing I noticed was a pale pink in the background along the water line. If you could bring that out a touch, I think it would add greatly to the whole image.

Overall this is a great winter image that is very telling of the area you live. There is a lot of great elements. If I had voted I would have given it no less than a 7. Knock out the tree and give me some pink and it would have been a 9.

Doinking?! That's some unique PP program you've got there, mister.

The scene is lovely, no question. I would like to see more of the detail on the house, just 'cuz I LOVE stone houses. Lots of character. I wonder, too, if the sidewalk was also stone, and should show more of the brown color of the house? The driveway is not as good a leading line with snow all over it. Also might see what I could get if I stepped up a few feet so that little tree on the left wasn't in the shot. But then you might lose the cannon, and living in VA I appreciate seeing the occasional cannon in someone's front yard :-)

very nice. what about a very tight shot of just 1/2 the lense and the name Falcon? might be nice too?

Transition between the table/floor and your background is a little too abrupt (IMO). To make the transition line softer, move the subject further away from the background and shoot more wide open to decrease the DOF.
