Very clever take on the challenge. I hope you do not suffer too many DNMC-type thinkers.

Thanks for all the comments, and while I had higher hopes for this entry, it did come in above my overall average score.

I guess I wasn't aggressive enough with the tinting to make it obvious that it was intentional, as many comments indicate people thought the WB seemed off rather than understanding it was a choice (or, people really hated the choice)

Sorry, I don't dig the noisy background. Also, the mild streaking from the crayon box is distracting.

A cute candid, but the arm blocking the smallest boy and the hard shadows kill it for me.

Nice colors, but I wish the flower was in sharper focus. Maybe a wider DoF or faster shutter speed would have helped?

Riot of Colors!

Comment:
Interesting as a near-abstract, this shot just has too much, large-grained, noise in it for me. Sorry.

Blaze of Glory

Comment:
This is interesting, but the lower left background clutter takes away from the photo. I think you might have gotten a better shot if you had taken it from a lower vantage point contrasting the foreground subject against the trees and perhaps a bit of the sky.

Looks like you were a little heavy handed with the shadow/highlight tool.

Simply Bokeh

Sorry, but, this technical demonstration of bokeh doesn't make for a particularly interesting photo.

Where Light meets Sea

Cute enough photo, but I can't get past the Shadow/Highlight haloes.
