The first picture I scored, and one of my 4 faves for this challenge. Composition is exciting for an abstract photo - I like the interplay of the slight curves and the straight lines - the lighting is good, a few hotspots here and there, but nothing overly distracting - at points they even help highlight the texture of the umbrella. The border is not overbearing and well thought out. Overall - 8

I like the effort that has gone into this photo. The lighting is great, though I feel the border is a bit overbearing. Having the small green border so close to the peace symbol makes it feel a bit constrained, though the large black border on the outside mitigates the effect to some extent.
Otherwise, it's a great shot with a good message and perfect/amusing title. 8

Pretty doll! I like the contrast between the reds and the greens.. Overall, I would have like to have seen more action, something to generate more interest it the photo. As it stands now it's a picture of a doll.. it seems like there should be something more there. 6 for a good picture which meets the challenge.

Hmmm... This looks familiar. I was just there freezing my butt off, taking pictures for this challenge. I didn't enter the ones I took there. Good shot tho! Not sure about the border.

That's a great great photo. I love the negative space, the tree, everything about it. However, I can't give you more than a 5 because it doesn't meet the challenge. Sorry! (If it met the challenge I'd give you a 10!)

This is the best of the covered bridge pictures, in my opinion. You've resisted the temptation to show the whole bridge, and instead shown us something that makes it more than just another bridge! Congrats on a good photo!

This shot is really really eye catching, but it suffers technically. It seems washed out, and the bridge is hiding back there. All the white makes it hard to focus on anything. A little bit of post-processing would have made this better, I think. Perhaps increasing the contrast and decreasing the brightness would be all it would have taken. Needless, great photo!

While this is an intersting shot, the concrete pillar on the left draws my eye far too much. If it had been cropped this picture would have had much more visual impact.

Very intersting effect you have here... I'm not entirely sure I like it but it certainly is arty!
