This is a very powerful image in my view. I liked it even better on second look and bumped you up to a 9. Love the dramatic clouds against the golden tree line. My eyes wonder around the image and is constantly met by interesting elements. I wish this was my entry :) Best of luck!

I am such a sucker for star images photography. And this image is great. I love that you have also captured the reflection in the water! In my opinion the iceberg is a little distracting, but that is probably a matter of taste :) I gave you a 9. Good luck in the challenge!

Wonderfully calm! 9 and top 5 for me :) I might be completely wrong, but I think maybe the all-covering blueness (in lack of better word, or English, I suppose) is making the image a tiny bit flat. I do not have enough experience to know how or even if this could be fixed, but perhaps if the sea was whiter or something? I don't know :) Still, an awesome image! Good luck in the challenge!

Sunset Light Above the Peaks

I really like this image. It is borderline cheesy with the pink and light blue, but definitely on the right side of the border. I wish I would take images this good :) I like the soft and calm feel of it. For me the tree line in the front is somewhat distracting, but not much you could do about it, so it is still a 9 from me. Great shot and best of luck in the challenge :)

This is a great portrait in my opinion! I get a feel of his character and the crop and background blur "forces" my eyes to concentrate on his face. I also like the b&w. If I was to comment negatively on one thing it would be the halo on his shoulders, but that is nitpicking. Awesome job and best of luck in the challenge :)

In my eyes the top is a tiny tiny bit too dark, but the rest is awesome. Great composition. The warm colour and golden light is perfect for this scenery.

I think this image is stunning and your daughter looks cute as a button :) DOF is great and the light coming through her hair and filling the background looks warm and wonderful. It`s a 9 from me and top 5 in my opinion. Best of luck!
