Tones and lighting are very good here, but image has some noise problems. I like the composition as well, but probably would have looked better in color.

Nice colors and interesting subject, but I wish your DOF was deeper so that both wings were in focus.

Great shot! I love it. Very nice landscape/winter subject matter. Only has too much noise (get free download of Neat Image) and you could have cropped out about an inch on top. Also, not sure, but horizon looks slanted, but I'm not sure if this is actually the contour of the land. Though the kite is small in relation to the rest of the image, I like the way it's colors contrast with the duotones. This image has a lot of mood and impact for me and even though it doesn't appear to meet the challenge theme, I will give it a good score. Well done!

Great color scheme and I like the composition very much! Contrast and lighting is a bit harsh, but works well here with this subject matter. I like it very much. good luck.

Wow! Great impact photo for this classic style. Love the cool colors, the floating clounds and the way the light is hitting the chairs. Well done.

Very calming and serene shot, which the lighting in your shot adds to. I love the way your black clothes blends into the background and I think you should have taken more advantage of this. Specifically, the shot would have more impact for me had you been able to hide your feet or wear black sox so that they blended in with the black background as well. This would have created an effect of you floating and would have captured the essence of yoga, that being lightness of being and weightlessness. Very well done anyway. I like this photograph a lot.

Would have had more impact if you had blurred the background.
