This is a nice idea, and not a bad shot - maybe a slower shutter in future - I would have preferred more motion blur on the train. 5.

Refreshing Twist

This is a nice approach, the silhouette is great - terrific lighting. I think you would do a little better in this particular challenge if the lemons were a little more vibrant, as it is the colour yellow isn't quite creating the impact of the photo. 6

Curves

Now that is one stunning flower macro, DOF is fantastic. Border is not (the yellow is just not working). Now normally I'd look at a flower macro and think to myself "that person knows how to use their camera and has found themselves a pretty flower.... so what ? But, thanks to the aforementioned terrific DOF this image transcends that typical sentiment and earns you a big fat 10.

Great work.

7 Petals of White

Im surprised at the low score here, I thought this would be a relatively dpc safe image. Personally I think the slinky shot was better, but this is a really terrific hi-key image.

Haven't read the comments below, but at a guess I'd say the issue was that people had trouble discerning seven petals. I gave this a 7 during voting, but at a second glance I'd probably bump that up one.

The effect of cold on spider webs

I know this is an old photo, so you might not get this comment, but just thought I'd point out that this is one of the coolest macros I've ever seen.

THis is an effective shot... an different take on the challenge... its not a daisy, daffodil, lemon, sunflower or even a sunset... and for that as well as the effective shadows and great texture you get a 9 from me.

I really don't like yellow

Clever selective desat here. I feared it would be horribly overdone in this challenge, but this is an effective use of the technique.

This is definately a clever idea...I would have tried a squarer crop around the eyes and fingers (the nose kinda distracts) but still, a clever idea. 7.

Lemons

Next time, please don't choose semi - rotten lemons... A shot like this really really needs pristine fruit. Also it's a little dull in the lighting department.
