This would make a colorful calendar page! My eye tends to wander around and enjoy all the separate images. I'm wondering if you had chosen one to be a focal point if this would have been a stronger image overall.

I think that your idea to use selective saturation was a good one. You've really managed to capture the emotion and excitement of the children wanting to go in the pool. Perhaps if you had chosen to selectively saturate the water in the pool instead of (or in addition to) the bathing suits you might have been even more pleased with the results.

I can tell you put a lot of thought into this. Right now, the sheer number of drops is distracting overall. I can see where you are going, but am not sure this particular shot is the best expression of your vision.

I can just see this hanging on my brother's wall. This is a great shot with nice color balance and overall feel.

Very drawn to this shot...nice isolation of the tree as a foreground element to balance the horizon line.

Mmmm - yummy. I had to go make some of my own after seeing this! Perhaps if you had used a different background (or different lighting) the popcorn would have stood out more and you would have been even more pleased with the result. Clever title.

Well composed - I like the way you set up the shot so that the overhanging branches lead the eye to the bend in road.

Good color, good composition. A minor matter is the flash of light in the upper left-hand corner and the spot of blue on the fern in the lower right-hand side. Overall, this is a strong photograph that represents your month well. I enjoyed your entry.

It's clear you were thinking about composition with the way the surf line comes into the frame and follows a straight line. If you had attempted to triangulate the tree line and the surf line to point to the sky you might also have been pleased. Including the people for scale was a good idea.

You've done a very nice job capturing the fluffiness of the clouds. Another option for composition might have been to zoom in a bit and use the lighthouse for framing, or instead to eliminate the lighthouse and choose a different foreground element. The colors were good, and the line of the horizon is also good.
