Well I have sort of mixed feelings about this image. On one hand, I like the "drawing like" look of the image, like it was drawn with a pencil. On the other hand, it´s WAY too busy for my taste and my eyes have a hard time staying anywhere for more than a second. I like the style but think it would be better suited to something simpler, like a human face or something. I know, not what the challenge is about, I am simply encouraging you to try the same editing again if there is for instance an expert editing portrait challenge. Ended up voting 5.

The Red Planet

I totally love that sky but the rest of the shot, not so much. Whatever you did to the mountain range and ground in post processing just makes it seem very flat constrast wise and reduces all detail and texture in it, just seems very poorly dodged/burned to me. Still voted 6 though as I LOVE that sky, wish the rest of the image had been in similar quality.

Well this is neither good nor bad for me, don´t really know what else to say. I like the sky, think you should have sharpened this more though as the whole image seems fuzzy. 5

Not bad, I like the blue hue to the shot. A shame about the area around the sun though, since you have expert editing available to you and you have an static subject you really should have put a bit more effort in this shot and done a double or more exposures and made sure you had that area in check.

Rude Awakening...

Well I like the DOF for starters and the blue hue to the shot. What I don´t like is the composition, way to centered for my taste with too much space to the left and the leaf is a bit too bright for my taste, very close to blowing out highlights and doesn´t hold enough detail/texture for my taste. 6 from me.

I am sorry but I have to say this, that sky looks horrible, whatever you did in post processing does not agree with me, for my taste it´s very oversaturated and "muddy". The rest of the shot is OK though but still looks a bit oversaturated to me, the only part of the picture I am ok with the saturation is the grass, there it fit´s. As for the composition, it´s not bad but I find that fence a bit distracting, I think I would have liked it better if you either went down to the ground and included all the fence having the house behind it or tilted the camera upwards, thus eliminating the fence alltogether and having more sky in the shot. Sorry but this got a 4 from me.

The Land Above The Clouds

Well all I can say is that "the land" looks familiar :) A bit flat contrast wise for my taste but nothing that is really bothering me.

Nice shot, like the colors and contrast in this one. Would have fixed the strong halo around the pier and horizon though if I were editing this but nothing that is really bothering me. 7

Lol! I would be afraid to go in there in case it might collapse! Definately meets the challenge :)
