While I could be wrong and I'm sorry if I am, the details that are here seem too realistic to not be a human painted silver. Good effort.

Good luck

Good idea and very nice subject but your reflection and others around ruin the image. I unfortunatly cannot offer a suggestion on how to avoid this, sorry.

Good luck

Nice old key. While it is a different type of pictures with good color balances (the old key on an older looking dark wood is nice) and lighting it just doesn't do much for me. Sorry.

Good luck

The chain adds a little to the image with its rolling off the back, but there is something about the black on the bright white that makes it less pleasant. -1

Good luck

I like the colors (tones), seems a little overexposed right on the lock but helps add to the metal theme. 1
Wonderful unique angle 1

I know the camera your using isn't the greatest quality but you should still be able to benefit from it. This is a great capture but I would try a couple things.
I like your angle on the bridge and you didn't center it up and down, thats a good thing. The image is blurry but that could be from compressing it to get it loaded. If you can (not sure what software you have access too) use some Unsharpen Mask (USM) after you resize the image, start small and increase as needed.
Next check your surroundings, the picnic table is a distraction, while I know you couldn't really go into the water or maybe even move the table in this case but it is something to watch for in future shots. Not sure what the bright blue thing is in the water to the left, maybe a rock but seems more like reflection, again your position may have prevented this but maybe you can remove them both with post processing cloning.
I'm not sure if your camera will take filters and your colors really do seem ok but you may look into a Circluar Polarizer to help cut glare and reflections and enhance your sky even more.

Good luck, keep submitting even if you can't enter contest yet. You have a good eye, just minor things.

totally cool image. Glad you went landscape and not portrait with the layout. Wish there had been a little more light at the top left of the tree but I know you didn't have control over that. Great capture and good luck.

wonderful infared image. Love the noise level and the simple black frame (I love b/w in a silver frame with b/w matting personnally). Good luck on the challenge.
