Excellent lighting. I like the vertical gradient and the shadow on the right. I'm not sure if it's just my monitor, but on the LHS these seems to be a secondary shadow that's sort of disconnected form the right itself? I'm also not keen on the halo at the bottom-left of the ring - it makes the finish look somewhat harsh. The same seems to be in the top right.

I like the centrality of the composition, although I think I may have moved it slightly further right? I know it's centred with the shadow, but I think because it's reasonably pale it looks very slightly unbalanced.

I think the position of the rings is excellent - you get a good feel of depth. I think the shot is very slightly soft though?

I can see where you're coming from with serendipity, and as it's a particularly difficult challenge I think it meets the challenge.

For me the shot has a lot going for it, but I think it lacks that extra 'sheen' that would make it a top quality shot.

Congrats Heiða. A shot well worthy of a ribbon! I really like the use of a high ISO.

Pillars I (white border)

Another very strong shot. The aspect is really nice, and although I'm not normally keen on borders the same colour as the shot, this works nicely for me (just dark enough to hold the pic in). I'd possibly have given this a 7. Maybe 8 depending on the competition.

Excellent shot, Kv.. I think I would have chosen a lighter border, possibly white, to improve contrast in the shot. As it is, it would definitely have got a high score from me, probably an 8, maybe 9 with a different border.
