Pretty tones - It looks like a watercolor painting. I wish it had a woman in a billowing white dress standing in the lower right corner looking off towards the horizon.

Wow, that was definitely being in the right place at the right time. What a wonderful setting for the balloon festival!

Nice light. The water is maybe a touch overexposed, but I'd take that over having those details in the stone underexposed. I really like the way the tree is part of the image. The crop on the splash feels a little tight.

Is this on the Eagle Creek Trail in the Columbia Gorge? You don't need to answer that, I'll check back after the challenge is over.

Nice job.

Straighten the horizon! Feels like all the water is going to drain off the left side of the photo. Otherwise a cool, dreamy shot.

A somewhat of a cliche shot, but for very good reason. What a great image to have to look back on. A beautiful first page for the baby book. :)

I think the lighting is excellent here. I love the shading that emphasizes the fullness of her shape. My criticism would be the appearence of the elastic marks from her clothing. (I assume thats what all those little vertical lines are anyway...) She should have worn a robe for an hour or two before posing for this so those would have time to fade.

Otherwise, it's very beautiful and emotional.

I was very much looking forward to your entry in this challenge. I knew you'd place high.

Great photo. I'd love to see your outtakes too.

Good eye. Very colorful scene! I might have been cool to get down and shoot almost through the wheels.

This is pretty cool. I have absolutely no idea what it is, but I like the colors and all the triangles.
