Congrats on another ribbon! Very creative approach to the challenge... very vivid colors. I especially like the composition of your shot.

Wild Flower

I LOVE the deeply saturated purple of the flower itself! Shallow DOF really fits well here, and the border accentuates the shot nicely. In my opinion, the center of the flower is a bit overexposed, and there seems to be some odd noise along the top edge of the petals that I find somewhat distracting. --6

I like the color you have captured in the flower. However, in my opinion, the composition just doesn't quite seem 'right'... it's a bit off balance: not quite centered, not quite rule-of-thirds. I would suggest bringing the yellow center of the flower a bit more left in the frame (closer to thirds), and using the nice line formed by the contrast of the green and brown to lead the viewer's eyes to the rest of the image. A shallower depth-of-field focused on the center of the flower might also serve to reduce the impact of the more distracting background.

Color of the flowers is very nice, however, in my opinion, the shot has been oversharpened to the point of being excessive, especially the 'halos' around the edges of the flowers themselves.

Very beautiful subject! In my opinion, however, the centered composition seems to force my eyes to the center of the frame rather than moving them around the shot... perhaps a rule of thirds composition would work better?

Very interesting subject. I especially like the effect the grapes in the glass impart to the shot. Also, I find the border a bit distracting, but overall, quite nicely done!

Very nicely shot! I love the soft glow the glass imparts to the light. The out of focus object to the left is a bit too distracting, in my opinion.

Beautiful color, and a very nice shot overall... One criticism, though-- lose the border (or at least the shadowed portion). I think it draws too much away from the rest of your shot. --8

Very striking shot! Very nice!!! A couple of distractions, though... one is the flaw in the bottom of the one glass.... the other is the border. It takes a bit too much away from the shot itself, in my opinion. --9
