Oh this is fabulous. Great lighting, textures and colours and masterful control of DoF.

Summer Punch !!!

This looks like it's suffering from a very nasty jpeg conversion - jaggies everywhere and strange grey halos in high contrast areas. I wonder what software you're using? Also, coloured borders, though suitably chosen here, don't go down very well at DPC. But a fun shot nevertheless that would benefit from better processing.

Vivid and intoxicating. A wonderful, energetic shot, though perhaps suffering a bit from being slightly too contrasty resulting in blown highlights.

I like the framing very much - I think I'd have preferred a shot of the lower storey to add to the effect, especially as the strip of sky at the top is a bit distracting.

Unfortunately lacking in contrast and general interest. Also I think it's cropped a little tightly on the left.

You'll probably have been told this already, but you've got to lose the border. The image fits the challenge but not in an especially engaging way - a good monochrome conversion might improve things a little.

Heartfelt and wonderful. The lighting is almost perfect - just watch out for the blown highlights on the left side of her face.
