Great colors. Minimal in complexity of background as well as complexity of subject: fits the challenge well. Nice sharp image. Creative, original, I like it a lot. Top ten.

Awesome image! It's so smooth, it's almost unreal. Great lighting and composition, it's nice and simple and fits the challenge well. Minimal in color and complexity of texture, this is a winner in my mind.

Brilliant! Original! Technically superb and meets the challenge. I love how you can see the individual red, green, and blue pixels on the screen. High marks for this one.

Awesome image! The colors are positively gorgeous. The warm, soft lighting on the tree is fabulous. Great composition. Meets the challenge! I like it a lot!

Fine and Dandy

I like this one a lot, but the subject is supposed to be the strong point (the white puffy dandylion is), but occupy only "a very small portion of the image space". Which it doesn't, it fills almost the entire frame.

Looking in

Cool composition. I like how the eye is looking slightly up, towards the open space created in the upper right of the image. Meets the challenge. Good focus on the eye, good contrast. The border is the weakest part IMO. It's a little too wide maybe, and the grey line blends into the person's nose because it's the same shade of grey. Still a great image.

Nice bold colors. Sharp image. But, it doesn't meet the challenge very well. The subject should occupy a "very small portion" of the image space. The cut up cards seem to be the subject, and they occupy nearly the whole frame.

Gorgeous sunset, but really terrible banding and noise in the image.
