I'm really impressed by this photo, especially how no matter where your eye starts in the photo, it is drawn right to the open door, placed perfectly per the rule of thirds.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous viewpoint where this picture was taken. The lighting looks a little harsh, though, with the strong shadows. Wherever this was taken, I'd go there again on a clear, cold morning or evening.

Split Rock Lighthouse

Love the composition (interesting foreground and background, lighthouse perfectly at the top-left third corner), but the shadows are way too dark. This might have been a great place to try an HDR photo?

This is a great shot. Would have been interesting to see what would happen if the red channel was boosted a bit, and the green channel lessed a bit (to reduce focus on tree branches on the left). Also, I just noticed the tiny waterfall at the bottom-left of the picture...a composition with it more in the picture may have been interesting (I have no idea what else that would have brought into the picture, though).

Tulip Fields

Love those red tulips! But the background seems a bit distracting...given that it's expert editing, perhaps some gentle desaturating and burning would help? Also, composing the photo so the barn is not centered may help.

Love the colors, and the title really fits the picture well. I wish the background was more out of focus, or more green instead of white.

Fresh Butterfly with a Hint of Chihuly

Superb colors (love the green/red contrast, as well as the red in the background complimenting the red in the butterfly). Also love the composition with the diagonal leaf.

In Flight

This is my favorite picture in the entire challenge. Post-challenge I'll be very interested to see how you set this photo up. Only things I can nitpick about are the glare off the back of the bee and the grayish background at the bottom-left (solid green would have been better).

Wonderful background, but feels like just a background. Feels like it needs something in the foreground (person? animal? tree?) to round out the picture.
