Nice idea for the challenge. The little boy is adorable, but the man with the red hat pulls attention away from him. I think the cropping could be tighter, the horizon less tipped and the focus a bit sharper.

Xtreme Docking!

Fits the challenge well. The use of duo-tone is nice. I think your frame is a bit to heavy--it takes up space that could be used by the more interesting elements of the photo

Nice abstraction. A little too over-saturated for my taste, especially because the building disolves into the sky at one point near the top.

RUNWAY

Comment:
Sharp and bright! Use of lines gives great impact. I like the way the mirage at the end of the runway disolves into the sky. Most of the thinner lines look jaggy on my monitor, however. Is this over-sharpening or just a remant of compression?

Cute idea. I like the composition and the use of sepia. Somewhat wistful feel to this.

Not Another Railway Track Photo....

I like the gentle colors in this. To me, it lacks a true point of interest. The composition seems tipped--if intentional, then not tipped enough.

Wow! Thank you Brad! I was really pleased with my entry and happy so many others liked it. I'm afraid my challenge work runs hot and cold at the moment.

I should clear up the name thing. (I entirely forgot what was in my profile or I would have changed it if I thought I'd make the top 10.) Lily is the name of one of my cats, her brother is Tiger. I like to mess around with my profile name so this week I'm "Lily Meister". That replaced "Thread Killer" once I stopped killing all the threads I spoke to . Who knows what it'll be next week... But I'll stick with KaDi here, if you don't mind.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments!
And thanks to the two of you who marked it as a favorite, too!

This 11th place finish launches me to a personal best. Happy! Happy!

I am a Flower

This is so richly textured in your post-processing! Love the effect! It seems it has enough contrast to carry off this technique. The blue of the flower(?) next to it is a nice contrast, but I think the green in the corner detracts. Nice, overall.
