I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1116 images, I gave 97 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 97, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

Interesting perspective, I love the symmetry that the reflection provides, effectively in both directions. I would have scored this higher if there was a bit of colour/detail on the trees rather than them being silhoutted, but nonetheless a great shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

I love the really deep rich blue and green in this shot which counter each other really well. The symmetry of the shoreline is pleasing, and the shy gives just enough light to lift the image from murky obscurity. Nicely shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of sunset and pier pictures in this challenge but this is one of the better ones. Nice lead in lines, good use of thirds, and a nice dark brooding sky, lit from below. The water has a nice sheen to it too. A nice shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of macro shots in this challenge, but this is one of the stand out ones to me (especially as it's without bugs!) The clarity and definition are in just the right place, the colour palatte is perfect, and I love the wispy dreaminess of the seed heads. A great shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

There are quite a few high vantage point cityscapes in this challenge, but this one appeals to me beacuse of the warmth provided by the sunset off camera. There is a slight fuzziness to this image which prevents me from scoring it higher, but nonetheless, a nice image.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

I love the sheen to the water, and the mountains look clear anc crisp. I'd personally prefer a slightly lower vantage point allowing the trees in the lower left more prominence, and a but more sky, but nonetheless this is a great photo.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Some selective desat pictures work really well, others do not. Yours is one of the ones that does. Love it or hate it, this style of graffiti is at times really artistic. Here you have been able to show how the graffiti has injected a bit of colour and life into the otherwise drab subject. Nicely done.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of sunset pics in this challenge, but this is one of my favourites. Very simplistic colour palette which just serves to make teh sky and water harmonise and speak to each other. It does feel as though it has a slight tilt to the horizon though.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

The monochromatic effect is really effective on this portrait, which is one of the best submitted in this challenge. Lots of great detail and textures. Quite a twinkle in his eye too!

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.
