Another picture definitely robbed.

Sad to see. I had this pegged for top three.

Nothing bad here at all. It was one of the easiest tens I handed out in the challenge.

Clarity, background tones and most of all the expression captured made this a no-brainer for me. Congratz on the 0 1's.

The guard doesn't look too intellegent, but your photo of him is excellent.
Color, focus and unique angle. Good job

Great perspective angle - the bird really pops out! Nice natural colors. The textures and details are well demonstrated.

The lighting here is unreal. It almost looks fake. Is it? Real or not it gets a 10 from me. Only my 3rd so far.

Looks like a Pelican from "Finding Nemo".. the processing is interesting, but it really reminds me of CGI. I'm still trying to determine whether I like it or not.

I think I do..

Nice composition. Could have a touch more contrast and a little catchlight in the eye.

Love the colors and detail in this wildlife shot. Background is a nice simple blueish white that does not distract attention away from this bird on watch. Composition is well framed with attention focused right on the pelican on his perch and nothing else in the composition to distract attention away from the main focus.
