Love this! Terrific composition, great lighting, fits the challenge perfectly, who says you have to shoot an Icelandic scene to have a winner? :) Well done. You got an 8 from me.

Having the riders on that steep down slope or the serpentine section might have provided more impact. You probably have one like that, but chose this version instead. :-) Nice image for the challenge.

Spectacular golden light in this beach scene! The warm tones of gold and orange capture the feel of a summer morning spend on the shore. Love the silhouettes of the lifeguard and the seagull in flight as the day awakens and the ocean waves roll in!

Beautiful shades of blue and I love the 'flow' of the colours. I'm wondering if it might have looked a bit cleaner without the lid? A lovely image.

Wonderful lighting and details in this composition! I like how you composed all the elements in this still life - this photo really is 'eye candy'. The candy 'pours' out of the open glass jar and the wavy blue lines of the backdrop 'pour' into the metal cap (which would be a great 'dish' to carry a bunch of these jellybeans).
