At the end of a long trek theres a pot of GOLD.

The desaturation really detracts from the image for me. I get the point, but I think your composition and the word gold on one of the beers would've been sufficient and good. The composition, colors (but not the circle part), and the idea are are quite nice - so I don't mean to rake you over the coals regarding the desat thing. It was just that that was all I noticed in the beginning. Now, after spending some time with this image, I'm getting thirsty!

This is now my favorite so far. Love, love, love the portrait hanging on the wall! The blues and spooky shadows are a wonderful bonus. Congratulations on a truly a great entry.

Is this a lens baby or is the blur on the edges some special effect in photoshop? Either way, I find it very appealing, especially on the left-hand side. For me, there might be even more impact if the smoke house were more to the right instead of dead center in the frame. I'm enjoying the b&w and reasonably low contrast a lot.

It's a little too much with the cat brush for my taste. Very cute cat, however :-)

Behind The Lense - Sonoran Springs Remembered

This is really nice. The tones are wonderful. I am reducing my score by a point because of the slightly out of focus cactus on the left that keeps stealing my concentration, but otherwise, this is pretty near perfect. I like the b&w very much.

The Backyard

What an incredibly spot-on entry for this challenge! It's not only Steve's area (I think), but it's just a plainly beautiful image. The sky and the light are wonderful. Very good job and my only 10 so far.

The sky, beach, and water have gorgeous colors and I like the processing there a lot. For my taste, the green behind the people is way too saturated though. The composition is classic, though - in a very appealing way. The framing with the grass in foreground is a sweet bonus for me.

This is the very best one with Steve brushes, if that is a brush effect in the sky. Either way, it's one of my favorites so far, and that's saying a lot since I have been voting the more natural pictures higher in this challenge. But this just draws me right in. The graduations in the sky and the small clouds are such a perfect backdrop for the figure with the umbrella. The road looks too smooth and painted for my taste, but otherwise, there's not a critical thing I can say. 9
