Wow. This is the kind of photo that makes me want to learn more and more about this craft/art. I'll be back after voting to see the photo specifics. It's so sharp without appearing over sharpened, so vibrant without appearing overly saturated. Kudos on a great image. Hope it does well.

Now that's intense. I'm generally not a big fan of such deep saturation, but I can't help liking this a lot. Makes me wonder what the original really looked like. Then again... makes me not really care. Nice effect. Hope it does well.

A perfectly titled image. Well composed, effective low-key light and a sense of place that conveys serenity. Hope it does well.

I initially went right by this, but stopped and came back. Something had caught my eye. On second arrival, I'm thinking that it's the gentle spiraling lines of the rocks and the clouds that present a powerful focus of attention on the lighthouse. Outstanding. Hope it does well.

Really like the tonal range and transition from the subject to the edge. Hope it does well!

Wow... and I thought rose petals on the bed was romantic :)

Seriously I like this a lot - the focal plane on the lower bug is effective. Perhaps a bit deeper DOF to include the first part of the fiower's center would have been nice. (Yeah, I know... macro DOF is a b***ch.). Hope it does well.

What an interesting shot. I like the combination of different petal states and the way you've composed it overall. I also appreciate that it's vibrant and rich in color without be overly saturated. Very nice... hope it does well in the voting.
