An absolutely beautiful photo. My pick for a ribbon. It's sharp and the contrast is excellent... and you've captured the moment perfectly.

A Room with a View

Beautiful photo. Crisp. The perspective is extremely effective in making what was potential a dull dome photo into something very dynamic. Congratulations on producing a stunning photo.

A Pattern of Drug Abuse

Nice photo. This is something I'd expect to see in a stockphoto site. It's clean and sharp and generic enough to have a broad appeal required of a stock photo. Well done.

I love the minimalism of this photo... basic colour, texture and pattern all combining to make a great photo.

Patterns in the dunes

Beautiful colours. The red and the blues balance one another perfectly. The contrast is excellent. I may have cropped the top of the image (the grass/bush area) out though. Also, the shadow in the foreground is a bit of an issue.

Forked

Good detail. Good concept. I'm a bit disappointed by the DOF. My eyes are drawn up the image into the out of focus section... which makes me want to go back to the first set of fork... only to be led back up... repeat.

Nice photo... this will do well. The clarity is good... sepia on this was an excellent choice... gives it an earthy warmth. Well done.

Nice photo. Well balanced. It's very clean yet very interesting. Only negative, for me is the other trail in the top right corner... needed to have more of them is you wanted the mirroring of the main subject type pattern too... if that wasn't something you wanted, you may have tried to crop out more of them.

Nice. Different... which is what I really like in this image... but I can see it suffering in a "pattern" challenge b/c of it being a different type of pattern.

The colour is great... as is the contrast.

I just hope that it does well enough in the challenge so that you're not discouraged from doing similar things in the future.
