Your clouds are a little too blown out for my liking. Composition is nice, though I think I would have gone a little wider.

Nice, but seems to be lacking critical sharpness.

The Christmas Card

It's too bad the mountain isn't a little more visible, as it certainly figures large in the identity of this place. Nice composition though.

You'll probably hear a lot of this... It's too small. Make the long side 640 pixels to make the most of it.

Ginsu Knife

First of all, the background: I like it a lot. The colour and the shape. The composition as a whole, I like too. Maybe too symmetric for some, but I think it works here (I guess you could say the knife is asymmetrical enough). Anyway, my problem is with the knife itself. The edges and the text are a little soft. Perhaps this was the effect you wanted, but I think in that case you'd be better off without the text. Text invites reading, and I find the text just a touch soft to be pleasing, or not soft enough to be interesting. The exposure of the blade seems a little off too. Again, it seems to be too 'middle ground'. There is a little colour/texture/detail to the surface, and I think it might have been better with all or nothing. In that sense, I think it is the slight colouring that bothers me the most, and it might be somewhat improved simply by desaturating the surface of the blade. Just some random thoughts...

I like this. I like the DOF, I like the tilt, I like the darkness. I like the bent tine. About the only thing I don't like is the item just behind and to the right of the pot--it is a little distracting. I didn't vote on this challenge, so I can't really say what I would have voted it in that context, but certainly on its own it's a nice shot.

Awesome! Great lighting, texture, detail... The only thing I'm not sure about is the composition--In general it's great, but I think I'd like to see all of the dog's head. Then again, maybe not...

Her face looks terribly over-processed...

Lime Green

It looks a little dried out around the edges to me (this appears to be a pet peeve of mine in photos of citrus fruit). Composition and focus are good though. Perhaps a little too green, but I guess that's the point isn't it...

King Of The Peacocks!

This seems a touch oversaturated to me. Or maybe the colours really are that impossibly brilliant? Either way, nice shot.
