There were so many architecture photos in the challenge, but this one really stands out with a great sense of depth and scale. The highlights are a little too hot for my taste, but not enough to bring down a well deserved 10. ;-)

What a unique spray of water! Certainly the most intriguing of the "beaded water on glass shots," and the border works well here to balance the photo. One of the best in the challenge IMO. 9

Dream Catcher

Now THAT'S a pattern! I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it looks like a huge aviary. You've done a great job handling the tones. I just wish there was some obvious focal point- a bird or something- to break up the, well... pattern. Without that, my eye is left wandering aimlessly even though the visual itself is interesting. 9

Wonderful tones, strong composition and delicate detail. You couldn't have timed this any better, and B&W was a great choice to focus attention on the forms. One of my top three picks and easily worthy of a 10.

I'm not sure what color ribbon this is. Looks like taupe, but I'm leaning toward blue. I do know it's a 10 and my top pick. Awesome!

The Elusive Peepcock

Aimeethepincushion strikes again! A fabulous idea for the challenge that enabled you to focus on a single Peep without any other distractions (always a good thing). That said, I wish your lighting had been more dramatic. You made this great prop and then just stopped there. A spotlight would have emphasized the "show off" nature of this rare bird, popped the colors and added dimension. The relatively dull lighting here drags my vote all the way down to a 9, but I predict you'll be cursing this image on your profile page for a looong time. ;-P

Again?!? With all those recent stars on your profile, you should qualify as your own constellation by now. I shall call it the Big Dripper.

Nice one!

One of my three 10's. You obviously got some votes from rival gang members... or cats.
