I like it, and have been wanting to explore an idea similar to this.

There seems to be something missing, I'm not sure if it's compositional or not. I think it's a combination of the angle the photo is taken, and the lack of a definitive focal point. I don't know where to look. maybe create paths that the eye can follow, and fill in the surrounding zones?

very nice. the black card works well for contrast.

only thing that irks me about this is the border, it seems so obtrusive into the image frame.

cute title.

only thing in this I would do differently* is cool down the background a bit, it has quite a bit or red/yellow adding some unnecessary warmth (*only for this challenge)

well composed, I like the foreground, the children and the ships. the tree areas on the right side seem to be suffering a bit from either post processing, or maybe some lens problems.

nice landscape. I'm not sure if it's me or the photo, but the horizont seems to tilt heavily.

I'm surprised a bit that the water in the river is so green looking.

anyways, great photo. I think for this challenge I would have liked a bit more color than just the sky.

The colors in this are nice, however it's hard to define which challenge it'd be more appropriate in. violet is a mix of both warm and cool colors, so it's kind of cheating. :D

On the formal side of this, it's not terribly interesting of a composition. I'm not sure which flower --if any-- is important, which when combined with the title makes this image easy to pass up.

Nice portrait. feels a bit strange in the cool colors challenge.

on the formal side, I'm not sure I like his expression, It's not quite a "I'm concentrating" look, and it's definitely not a "I'm loving what I'm doing look", but more of a "I can't look at the camera, they told me not to look at the camera/deer caught in headlights" kind of expression.

I'm not really sure what the focal point (or focus) is in this. Other than that, I like the crop, and filling the frame with all the plant life. The lighting seems a bit harsh, some of the detail is washed out of the yellow flowers.

Ghosts of the Korean War

very creepy, gave me goosebumps.

I find the sky and treeline to be distracting from the statue a bit, other than that, great shot.

very interesting story. perspective is nice. something on the right side is irking me, I'm not sure what though. The fighters wearing red and blue make this feel borderline cartoony. love it.
