Greetings from the Critique Club!
Don't thing I've ever given a more in-depth critique to a ribbon winner before, but here goes:

Composition and Lighting: Beautiful. You don't offer much for critique here =). My thing would be that the scene seems to be titled slightly to the right. Lighting is about perfect.

Technical: The first thing that catches my technical eye is the discoloration at the top of the door: the two green lens flare-ish looking things. But that would be easily modified in advanced. The distortion at the bottom of the door frame is slightly bothersome, but again this is a nitpick.

Conceptual: The funny thing to me is that even though this is obviously an entrance and won that challenge, it doesn't say entrance conceptually to me - the doors a closed. They don't invite the viewer to enter in. Though the depth of the pillars do.

Overall: As DPC agrees, this is a winning image. Congrats on the blue.

I really like this one. Looks like a room that would be in the "Myst" games.

Hmmm. Not sure about "Surreal"... It's a lovely location although the image is quite grey. I like how you were able to catch the swirls in the water below the dropoff.
