Hazy, Hot, and Humid

Ok, I've got to say...this is exactly what I was trying (and failing lol) to do with my own photo. I really like all three versions but I'm having a hard time picking a favorite. Both the warm and cool versions appeal to me in different ways. I'd love to know how you did it as I'm sure you've noticed I failed spectacularly with my own attempt. ;-)
Anyway, great job!

Wow! There's absolutely nothing I can say here. I'm ashamed to admit you've thought about this much more than I ever have. That's pretty much why I'm taking part in this mentorship though. I've got to learn to stop and think about a photo before I press the shutter button. :-)
Personally, for what it's worth, I like the exposure.

It looks really good to me. I'm going to have to try exposing with a grey card. It's pretty rare for me to get such good exposure right out of the camera.

Great capture. It seems a tad overexposed to me though. You might try to play around with levels, if you have Photoshop anyway. The detail it brings out is amazing. Good luck in the challenge.

What a great shot. The snow leopards at the St. Louis zoo are always in cages so I've never been able to get a good shot of one.
The clarity is fantastic.
I'm jealous!!! :-)

Nice job. I like the angle you shot from. I think the colors compliment each other very well.

This was one of my highest scoring shots. I thought it would place much higher. Imagineer said it perfectly --- Crazy.

I love the contrast of colors. It really makes the flower pop.
