Does validation cover also truthfulness of title? :-p

simple and nice, hard to add anything

were they going through the arc? (in advanced editing they could be made to look like they were... :-)

Pile of leaves
by Seband

Comment:
somehow the photo does not convey the beauty of the pile as it is a quite difficult subject... (may be a bit different composition with stronger emphasis on geometry of things could help?)

simple and very effective (also thanks to sun, so lacking these days in other places, such as here)

Dawning of a New Day

I would love to live in a place with such a view, however, the photo doesn't make it any more beautiful than it already is, also the softness seem to be an issue

Just Add Snow

Comment:
Fixing cables (and dustspot) should be allowed even under basic editing rules... Apart from that I only wander if there is a way to brighten the image, to make it stand out more

Far from Home

Comment:
I'm quite lost in the perspectives here... :-)

Best so far (after 25 %).

Works every time......unfortunately.

It is probably not easy to find a good angle for a profane subject such as lighter and the top view may be a good choice, but then I would prefer less background there, or may be even more melting away background (but more likely a closer detail of the lighter head and different shade of the table).

Btw. I use lighters mostly on candles these days, and I am completely happy when they work :-)

Faithful Companion

Comment:
Beautiful and well experienced guitar (?):-). The photo is very pleasant to look at, mainly thanks to unusual colors. I would expect a "Faithfull companion" to be less abstract; blurry strings, fine as they are, would fit better if more focused. Or may be not.

I suggest to add some contrast to the image (for example by making the wall lighter, possibly in bw), it could still retain its gloomy mood and become more attractive
