I'm a sucker for these type of shots. The blue hue works well here, and I love the texture of the sand. The hints of mist around the rocks really catch my eye.. but there's something very subtle missing. I can't really put my finger on it though.

When working with water reflections, I tend to brighten up the reflection a bit.. perhaps that's what I'm looking for here? Sorry. Wish I could give a more concrete suggestion. Still, this is a solid 9.

Nice, dramatic clouds. Love the IR treatment. My only beef is that it appears noticably rotated to the left.. Details, I know... But important details.

I really like the mood and composition otherwise..

Nice strong colours, good perspective. Very simple. However, for this to sing I'd love to see some texture on the wall, something to make it more than just colour. Love the composition!

The Splash of a Kiwi

Comment:
Just plain stunning. Really like the air bubbles on the kiwi itself and in the splash. Background blur is just a hair too visible. You can see it along the right edge of the kiwi and splash..

Other than that it's great. Love the colours!

Gorgeous colours, lovely reflection. However, it looks like your horizon is rotated. Maybe that's just an illusion, but it's not enough to mark you down much. 7.

Glowing Abstract

Hi Chris, greets from the Critique Club.

Technically, I think this shot is well done. I don't mind the over exposure so much, but what I don't like is the shot feels... static. Perhaps zooming in and cropping off the sides or rotating the object might help.

I think what I like about the picture is tonality and the texture of the vase. I'm not sure this deserves less than a 5, but, alas.. welcome to DPChallenge.

Best of luck in future challenges!

Forever Love was the last thing I was looking for...

Nice macro. Maybe not the first thing that pops into my mind when I think serendipity, but that's a hard thing to get a photograph of, so you get the benefit of the doubt. I like the lighting and the setup. The only thing that really (and I mean really) disturbs me is that the photograph appears to be neatimaged to death. By that I mean there isn't enough detail and texture left in the rings. This is particularly noticible in the sparkles on the right of the top ring, and almost everywhere in the shiney bands. If my vote were to count. it'd be about a 6

A riot of colour! Nice diagonal formed by the flowers, but still feels like somethings missing. Drama maybe?

Blurry and out of focus. Main subject too detatched from the viewers eye.

Without those people this should wouldn't be nearly as good. The people provide a focal point and I like how the tree branch points right at them. Love those blues too!
