Good composition for a narrow frame like this. The play of light and shadow is interesting too.

What's not to like about this? Great water, nice balance with the ferns on the right offsetting against the man and ferns on the left. Well done.

I like the subject matter and the action in this image. It borders on being a panorama, which as I read the challenge rules is not the intended approach. However, the blank space in the background skirts that issue because the focus is clearly on the runners. Nice composition, well executed.

This has a sort of oriental feel to it, it seems to me, which I appreciate. A very pleasing composition and nice detail.

The Line Up

I like the way the ducks sort of stack up on one another in this vertical arrangement.

Lovely bokeh and good detail in the bird. Good presentation as the off-center placement works for me, even though it is looking out of the frame rather than the more traditional placement that would have him looking toward the center. Sometimes looking out the near frame just seems right...and this is one of those times IMHO.

Nicely done. Good detail, but it seems just a tad soft in the head area (but that could be my tired old eyes).

Well done. I especially like the light and shadow on several of the petals.

If these guys only had voices I could imagine the one in flight barking out commands to the others. The wing spread works with the frame size too. The image seems a tad soft to me, though. Still, I scored it well.

Nicely done with pretty good detail and a fine blurred background.
