Oh so cute! Fits the challenge nicely. I like the tilted horizon and the giant crack in the road.

Capturing the Capturer

To me, this seems like a "Where's Waldo" shot, that the mountains and lake are the subject, not the photographer. I like the photo a lot, though. The reflections are beautiful and you've got nice contrast and composition here.

Boats on the Mist

These soft pastel pinks and purples draw my eye right down to the subject. Very well done and nice composition.

Perfect for this challenge. I don't get the title, but I don't vote according to titles :-) The only thing I could wish for this is that the only background was the huge playing field, which would cause the subject to not have his head in the brown and grey of the field's edge.

I love, love, love the subject and the colors - the only things that distract for me are the border (I like it, but it's a little too strong for my taste) and the crane in the lower left, which takes my eye away from that beautiful sillouhette of bird and lamp.

Narcissus 'Mini Me'

Nice use of negative space, and good color combinations. I'd love to see a little stronger focus on the blooms, especially the big one facing the viewer. I also like the angle of the stem, that it's not perfectly straight up and down. I wonder if people will comment that the subject is not sufficiently minimal - for me, it's on the border, so I am not going to vote this one according to whether the subject is minimal, but on the image itself.

I love this image - color saturation, contrast, and sharpness all seem perfect. Fits the challenge nicely, too. The only thing that would improve this is if it could be a huge image - and I know you've used the whole 640 pixels. I'd love to see it at about 900 pixels: I bet it would be beautiful as a print. 9

I like the colors a lot. However, it seems like maybe the image could use a little more color contrast, for example to make the black shirt a stronger black and the green in the tree a little stronger. The lines created by the floor, the wall, and the tree "stump" are really nice. The image seems plenty sharp, too.

Water Bird

VERY clever! There's a small issue for me with the light glare and the red frizzies on the wood, but I think this is really an amazing idea and that keeps your score up there in my book.

Nice. I can almost feel the water. Meets the challenge perfectly, plus the image is appealling, thanks mainly to the water - although it's the feather that makes one look at the water and feel the depth. Good job.
