The flat sky isnt really noticable when you take into consideration the scene. I like this for a 7.

A nice scene, but the image is a little soft on focus which negatively impacts the scene. A Neutral Density filter - a .6 would have helped the sky details and popped the colors of the village out reducing some of the blandness (if that's a word). I'm not crazy about the font either - the problem with the more artistic fonts is that the kerning is never perfect and you acquire issues like the n m and u all running together. Nice image though - very peaceful.

This is a very special photo "saying" so much with the picturesque dried wood supporting the vine. Creative title, sharp photo.

As always, I marvel at how you get those kit lenses to work so well for you. Mine don't like me lol. The glow on the bridge uprights looks GREAT and the blue is beautiful too.

What a character - and you have captured the eccentricity well. The choice of processing is very clever, with the would-be mayor as one with the statues, or perhaps like an animation character, not quite real!

I think this is a great image - just misplaced in the challenge. The subject matter appears to me to be the wood pilings and not the flora surrounding them. The overall color tone is interesting and subtle. However, the net effect isnt positive for me.
