Now THERE is a good sunflower photo. Very nice!! The colors are great, composition is interesting and the bee is just a little added touch. Nice border, too. I can't vote, but I would have given a 10.

Nice composition. There are spots on the petals I would have liked to see cleaned up and the grey overtone to the background seems to kill the happy sunny yellow of the flower.

Who's looking at who?

Very creative!! The only nit pick is that black thing near the man. I assume that's a plant of some sort but I keep looking at thinking "what IS that???" It's distracting.
Otherwise, very good shot. I can't vote, but I would have given a 9.

Good idea, great execution. I just wish it didn't look so staged as in... a girl undoing her bathing suit in the classic shoulders back, hip out, looking over the shoulder, model pose.

Backside of Spectators

Very awesome photo, but the backside of the spectators isn't really the focus of the photo... and I think you know that based on the unimaginative title you chose.

The lighting and color are great. I can imagine low light made this difficult to catch, but you got some great detail here. The shark (is it a whale shark?) looks like he is glowing, very cool effect.

Abstract Peacock

Awesome!!! The tones in this are so beautiful! The feathers bring your eye into towards the bird and then up to form that very pleasing leaf-like shape. The symmetry of the bird coupled with the off-center subject make the crop really dynamic. I love it! If there would be anything to change at all, I would have liked the crop on the bottom to be closer to his feet, there is just a little too much dead space on the bottom compared to everything else. But that's very minor.

Unfortunately I can't vote, but if I could 10! 10! 10! 10!!
After seeing everything else... this should get the blue imo.

Extremely underrated! This is multiple times better thanalmost all the bird shots that scored better... I just don't understand these voters sometimes. And thank you for not submitting another cardinal or chickadee!

Beautiful photo, really.
