Fall to Chaos...

Not a bad attempt but there is way too much going on in this frame for my taste, the backround draws too much attention and frankly I had to look for the waterdrop. I would try to keep it more simple next time, IMHO.

Spring Flowers in a Vase

Sorry but not working for me. Wether this effect is due to the fact that you shot it through a window or a photoshop filter (my guess is the filter) I don´t care for it at all. The main reason is that it doesn´t look like a photo but more like an oil painting and while nice looking, doesn´t belong here. Keep in mind that this is just me and my narrow minded opinion, if you like it that´s all that matters really and please just ignore me.

Awesome detail on the waterdrops and the petals of the flower but it´s a bit unevenly lit for my taste. A reflector or a fill flash for the stem itself would have improved this shot in my humble opinion but don´t get me wrong, I love this shot and could not do better myself. 8

I can see that it´s validated, it´s just that the backround just looks, well frankly bad, so that is the reason I am voting only a 3. Also the halo around the statue is a killer for me. Don´t take this personally, I just want to explain why I am only giving a 3, hope you respect that.

Foreground is very beautiful but the houses look out of place there and don´t really add anything to this picture IMHO. 5

Too oversaturated for my taste but other than that a pretty nice shot. I would love to see more from the same location during a different time of day where you don´t have such a large shadow in the right lower part and also with a wider angle lens including more of the river. Good luck in the challenge!

Ohhhh.... the thumbnail looked so very promising! If only the head had been in perfect focus and the rest of the image exactly the same as it is now I would have given this a 10 easy! However I still gave it an 7 just for the composition and tones in it and the monotone high key feel too it.

Looks to be an potential awesome shot but the fact is that half of the action is missing in the frame so too bad really, at least IMHO this is a failed shot as it needed to be a tad more on the wide end. On the plus side I like the colours and movement of the little ducklings but since this is framed so poorly I can´t give it more than a 5 but if the framing would have been better I would have potentially given it a 7 or even an 8.

Awesome shot, could have been even better if it had more raindrops but that´s just nitpicking, gave it an 8.

A Joyful Noise

Nice, but IMHO it lacks a focus point and general sharpness to the whole shot, my eyes wander all over the frame. Still a 6 in my books though.
