A very spiffy wonderful shot, the sky is awesome and the colors spot on, its only missing the giraffe silhouette for it to be totally Africanesque.

Nice. Somehow what I said pre-challenge doesn't feel as important with the two trees as opposed to the one. Maybe the area between them makes a horizontal rectangle that makes the portrait orientation feel right.
Gotta love the change in colours in this. And the strong silhouette.

Simple but very effective.

Really liked the composition of this. The darkness all around set the moody mood. The plant growing inside. The dirty and broken glass. The dust, dirt and grime. The slight tilt. I liked it all. And gave this an 8.
Really nice clean image. The acid bottle is a definite focal point, and while I think the plastic sheet on the left brings depth to the image it's the only thing that I can think of that people might use to bring down votes. The bright reflections in the folds and valleys. I can't really call it negative space as it is because there are too many details on it. I dunno though. Maybe it is. but the bright parts do bother me. I might have tried to clone them down a notch were it me. Then again I am prone to over-editing, so perhaps it's best as it is.
Great focus on this. Nice that the bottle and window are sharp.
Definite 8.

Does this bike make my butt look fast?

Great perspective! I’m surprised this didn’t finish higher as well. I didn’t get a chance to vote on all the images in this challenge and didn’t get to this one, but I would have given this 7 or 8. Probably an 8 with that title.

There is such a sense of something terrible having happened here, sometime ago. Great shot, Steve.

Definitely should be somewhere near the top, it's a fine shot and proves sometimes that it's the details that count.

That is one odd looking bike, I have never seen one with different size wheels like that.
