Depressing. Composition good, colors excellent, fits challenge, evokes emotional response. 8 but will pass again. Bumped up to 9

Wow. The colors are excellent. I love the two competing blues - they work well together. Focus, POV, DOF excellent. 10

'Barrelin' Down the Line..."

interesting POV. In focus, good DOF. I have an urge to tilt the image to 'straighten' it out. 7

I found this image interesting. The subject is boring but the composition makes up for it, as does the focus and POV. Well done crop. I think this is probably the best of the powerlines images. 8

Spring Stretch

Comment:
the brown in this picture does not work for me. The focus of the image would stand out more if the POV was from a little more to the left. This would move the focused stamen (?) in front of the background making it stand out more. Changing the POV would also get the other stamens (?) a little more out of focus. Its interesting (kind of) but doesn't really hold my attention.

My outside broom

Comment:
I would have removed the staple. Because of its uniqueness in a repeated pattern it draws my eye. And I wonder why the staple is important in the image. Since I think the pattern rather than the staple should be the focus, this loses 1 for composition. Focus and color are excellent. 6

I gave this one a 10 because I think it is the best of what's in the challenge. Its a beautiful shot, cropped well, in focus, excellent color.

If the sideways lady had been a little more to the right and the highlights not on the other womans face, this would be an excellent shot.
