Good shot - as to postcard-ness, I think you could either have cropped just under where you've placed the text, or put the text lower down: it looks like a mistake being that far up the frame.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Great theme, outstanding macros, but that red spot is distracting.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: The composition of the individual shots and the group is excellent. Given the editing rules were suspended for this challenge I wonder if you could have altered to color of the red spot on the leaf in Photoshop. It keeps pulling my eye back from anything else I want to loo at.

TECHNICAL: The technical aspects of these shots are excellent. I like the short depth of field and the exposure is outstanding.

CONCLUSION: a strong composition, and deserving of it's 6+ score.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Nice composition but, to me, the yellow lines stand-out a little too much. It's almost like they were painted on afterwards, which rather breaks the mood of the picture.

Well, it DOES look like a postcard ... but it's kind of an ugly postcard. Not that there aren't a lot of those!

This is a good photo, the texture of the water is amazing! Well composed, nice combination of colors, I like it. The text, in my opinion, could have been placed more in the lower left hand corner tho.

I love how the text almost looks as if it were writen in the water. The boat adds a touristy element; I'd rather look at this marvelous scenery that you've captured so well.

"The Real Florida" should have been lower on the card.
