Amazing clarity and colour balance. Best so far. (ETA - been through them all now - still the best)

Beautiful lighting. I would have preferred a less central composition, but nonetheless, an 8

Nice composition but I find the halo really distracting.

This is a fabulous portrait and I'm really surprised it didn't place higher.

So glad you got one to stick! :-) Great image, could almost be Mars.

You may get slated for not meeting the challenge in respect of the title of your shot. Not affecting my mark though.

Fabulous shot, but which month is it? The challenge was to name the shot after the month it represents... so this does not meet the challenge, which is unfortunate. I always knock a couple of points off for the DNMC, but I'm scoring this one so highly in this challenge that I don't think it will affect you!

Interesting... I have no vote registered on this one, but voted 100% on the challenge. Presumably this was DQ'd during the voting stage, but this means that should you now be validated, you may have unfairly missed out on some votes - albeit I guess that could have worked either way. I probably would have given this a 6 or a 7 (would have to see it in context with all my other votes to determine which and that's sadly not possible now). Had I given a 6 you are better off without my vote as it was below your average. Had I given a 7 you have lost out as it would have bumped you up a bit. Of course there may have been some more 7-10 votes heading your way that you never got :-/
