Love the subtle tones here. Very distinctive geometic patterns lend to a strong composition. I think this is one of the best of the lot.

Where have we seen this picture before? :-)

Just fantastic. Works well for this challenge. I love the rich hues and sharp detail. Wouldn't change a thing. A shame 10 is all I can offer.

Lovely colors. I think the DOF could have been increased in this shot to good effect. Overall a very appropriate entry and nicely composed.

You've managed to incorporate a fairly mundane object into a fascinating study of light and shadows. Like the tonal range and the detailed sharpness without artifactual distractions.

Lovely entry. I like the candid approach here. The composition is quite interesting with the far shore off in the foggy distance. Techically with adequate sharpness, detail, and processing without artifactual distractions.

Most people here have scored based on the fact that this is a "Rock, Paper, or Scissor" challenge, meaning one of those three should be the focus of the shot. The key word being focus.

I, on the other hand, read into this challenge in a more literal way. i.e. 'your photo should contain one or more of the three items'. The instructions did not mention focus. As a result, one of those 18 7's votes were mine. :-)

Good luck.

Excellent bokeh. A nice study in elegant simplicity. Technically impeccible with great sharpness, detail, and processing without any glaring artifactual distractions. 8

As an avid golfer, I can really understand this picture! Very appropriate for this challenge. Sharp, detailed. Nice clean processing.

I think you're on the right track with this entry. The nice color of the flower is in sharp contrast to the murky water. Image is not quite as sharp as I would hope for. A bit lacking in fine detail as well, but I think this is more a limitation imposed by your digital camera than your processing, and thus is not that big of an issue. A very appropriate entry, and I think it's a fine entry overall.
