AGAIN?!? Geez, Rudy... forget about giving others a chance. At this point you need to stop ribboning just for variety!

In My Room

Well above average in this group. If it's a self-portrait, you're probably beating photographers with WAY more experience. Nice lighting and color, but I'd crop off the right side- a face positioned dead center like this usually creates a very static composition. Good job!

Wow... I'll bet you're getting clobbered over this! Not only is it presumably in the wrong challenge, but it's not even in portrait format, so it wouldn't meet the OTHER challenge either. That's a pity because the image has a soothing, painterly feel to it. A little more contrast in the background and a crop off the top to keep the horizon off the center might help the image (in an appropriate topic).

Cool! One of your best shots ever. Seeing it here makes me think that you're either about to ribbon in the Free Study, or that you're a bonehead. ;-P

What a great gym! Wish I could see a bit more detail. Maybe if you shot in overcast conditions or late in the day (oooh... warm colors!) you'd have less contrast to deal with. Still, one of my top picks. 9

Suuuuuure... seduce us with a pretty sunset. It won't work! I'm voting you all the way down to a 9 because it seems a little muddy to me, particularly on the right side. A bit more saturation and sharpening and you can go for the extra point. ;-)

When you've got a scene like this, how can you go wrong? Something odd about the color though... looks like maybe you shot in Adobe RGB and left it there? Never thought I'd give a 10 to an image featuring a half-dozen horses' rear ends, but there you go! ;-)
