I love the rich and vivid colors but wish the field emphasized more the pattern of waves it appears it has and also wish the objects in the background were clearer and enlarged.

Worries Far Away

With this picture's bright and vivid colors, I don't find anything in this image that suggests any kind of worries, as stated in your title. Focus and exposure are perfect, but I find the composition not to my liking, as the boat is too centered in the bottom.

Beautiful and rich colors but I find the image so busy that the bird gets lost. With a subject so small, I think a tighter crop would have been more appropriate. Also, don't like the blown out sky and background, which also confounds things.

Wonderful composition with the near/far effect and the contrast of the foreground/background colors. I also like the way you've captured the haze in the town which really adds to the authenticity of the season. Good job.

You just got to love that blue ! Composition is also wonderful even with the metal rod coming out of the boy's shoulder. I wish the rocks weren't so overexposed, though. Meets the challenge well in showing a summertime activity. Well done.

Great shot and wonderful detail in the subjects. I really love the vivid and rich colors and the contrast between the browns and yellows here. DOF is perfect and I like your angle-of-view. Well done.

I think the composition could have been more pleasing had the background been more interesting and less commonplace, but I like the image design, as well as, your cropping and angle-of-view. I also find your colors to be off and the lighting to be too harsh. Your subject certainly meets the challenge requrements as it portrays a common summer pastime.

The Colors of Lima´s Winter

The composition is pleasing, but I don't like the extremes of contrast here. Little detail is visible in either the sky or foreground and also confuses so that I can't tell what season this was taken in. However, I like the silhouetted effect this has.

The flower and the bee

DOF is excellent and I love the contrasting colors of the brown of the background with the gold/yellow of the flower. I just wish there was sharper focus overall, expecially on the bee, which does not stand out.

Nice vivid colors, but I find the lack of sharp focus througout the image to detract and don't like the centered composition. For me, the impact would have been greater had you taken a different angle to show more of the fence and setting down below.
