Oh I can hear the screaming from back inside the box already :)
7 for guts and also for nice highlight detail in the clouds, placement of the stadium in the frame

With this type of photographic technique it is so easy to let things get too orange. I've learned that using selective color to darken the blacks and whiten the whites helps a lot, as well as using levels to balance out the too-orange feel. Overall though I like this! Composition especially is nice.

This is a magnificent shot of a bit of food - pin-sharp close-up with bold colours and all. All those fives and sixes must mean a lot of people saw this as an honest interpretation of the challenge but nothing to write home about. Some of the winners were 'more abstract', but I'd find it hard to justify others for being so far above this.
Holding it in chopsticks with a bokeh background might have got you something - at least a steady hand badge.

Ooo, cool photo! you might try selectively taking the yellow out of the background and adding more blue, maybe a filter over the clouds, or a gradient from blue to the natural yellow sun... or burning the top right, bottom right and bottom left corners just a tad... idk... but I really love the relaxing feel of this photo

The contrast between the facial expression and the bubble - wonderful!

This is classic. The bubble and the eyes really make funny what would have been a serious portrait.
