Perhaps the most dramatic sky in this challenge with an endearing subject so well placed, like saying, look: it is about me, but look at this sky. Amazing and bumping up several notches. Good luck and possibly the best composition.

A rather warped idea. ;) This was set up well. The only thing I don't like about it is that the mirror on the wall reflects a CD rack and the very top of the woman's head, causing some distraction to the photo. What type of wine does one serve with stuffed penguin??

Incredible colors in this photo, and the composition is great. The distant horizon, reaching tower, and grass texture add so much to this image. Looks like a postcard.

Wow, I want to know where this place is! The colors are simply stunning! I get a really great warm feeling from this image. It's one I would want hanging on my wall.

Powerful. Wonderful color, like how the top of the tower just touches the clouds.

Ah! My other pick for the winning ribbon. The range of colors you have shown here is almost sublime - the sky is a deep blue to harsh orange and the Green grass and yellow building make for a very lovely composure of colors.

I hate to have something to pick on, but there is something that just doesn't seem natural to me about this photo. It is slightly over saturated, but that doesn't really bother me as it's something that one needs to do on DPC and I feel it works well here, but there seems to be a lack of detail in the shot which looks artificial.

These main areas are around the tower and around the main mound. Also the small area down the right bottom side where the grass and the sky meet looks very false for some reason.

Overall this is visually one of the best in this challenge - but a touch too computer processed for my own personal tastes. I think if the photographer could ween off photoshop a little then they would be a much improved photographer because they have the hard part already sussed which is the eye for composition and color harmony.
