Sorry, but this is too abstract for my taste.

When I first look at this, the subject seems to be more the wonderful mountain rather than the animals (which I can't quite make out what they are).

Mottled fog -- is the saturation turned up too high?

Good capture, nice and sharp.

The horrible beginning of a new day

Nice motion blur. Attractive composition and framing. Might be better without the reflection of the table.

Irony? Road looks quite empty.

The portrait orientation with all the empty space just doesn't do it for me. I would have prefered a landscape. Otherwise a good shot.

Purple haze

I see several problems that would have contributed to the poor score.

Foremost is the poor focus. Being a tightly cropped image doesn't help. A macro lens is really the way to go if you want to take pictures like this.

Pictures that don't make full use of the 640 pixel maximum dimension as a rule don't score well.

Very subjective, but I don't really like the composition. Putting the bee in the frame makes it more interesting, but detracts from the theme. But being only part of the bee is annoying.

I don't think you really deserved the "brown ribbon" for this. It was a good attempt for an enticing picture.

ET wants my dinner

OK. It's somewhat blurred (use a tripod!) and flat. People also tend to prefer bright colors, so working in B&W here is a disadvantage. What was this like in color?
