Nice colors and Xs all over the place; my eyes keep going around the image looking for a focus point and not finding any. 7

Au naturale

Nice image, though it doesn't really have the wow factor of others in this challenge. Also, some perfect blacks around the leaves are a little distracting (too much burning?). Still a great image that deserves an 8

Aww! The border style isn't working for me but that's okay. Good concept, great lighting, great expression on her face, and it's off center too! 9

Cogs n Crosses

If it weren't for the harshness of the lighting on the straight thing on the right, and the little black thing on the left (I'm assuming you're using it to frame the cog, it's just not working for me), I'd give it an 8. Speaking of lighting, the lighting on the cog is great, and really brings out the details. 7

Just a note - the black part of your border seems smaller on the top and left. If that's correct, try resizing to something like 700x??? first and then adding the border.

X-X-X

Actually, it's X-X-X

X-X-X. A tad over-/underexposed in some parts, and too centered. Still better than anything I could've done, especially in black and white. 7

X

Why... so... serious? The tones on her forehead and neck are a bit flat, and there are some underexposed areas around her nose. Other than that, I really really like it. The concept and the look in her eyes are both perfect. 8

Some crazy stuff going on in this one, those reflections are out of this world. I love getting lost in these abstract images, especially when they're done as beautifully as this one. 9

Wonderful colors, and surprisingly sharp (I'm assuming a long exposure here, especially with the deep DOF). Speaking of DOF, great DOF. The X doesn't jump out at me in the large image, but it does in the thumbnail, but that's probably because I tend to see the details in the large one and the overall image in the thumbnail. 9
