Too abstract for my taste. The composition does not help to understand what it is and as an abstract photo it does not have any point of interest, there are just colors. 3.

Beauty model! I like the photo, it looks technically perfect but it is not my favorite for this challenge. 8.

The Pueblo

I think it lacks a clear point of interest. I like it more without the village, maybe you should have cropped it out. Also being a landscape with the sky on it, a more dramatic sky with detailed clouds would make it score higher, I guess. I'm curious to see a version of the same photo without the village and a darker look.
Free Studies are tough anyway(and I still insanely insist on participating on them).

Tall building makes smallish pyramid

I second Yo_Spiff's tips and would add that you should have played with aperture to get a deeper DOF. I don't like the OOF look of the building in the bottom of the image. Also, your image lacks white, the white on it is not white. But I love the idea and the composition. Hope it helps.

Thanks, greatly appreciated! I don't use to use Photoshop, even having it available here... I'll try the actions and see how they come... But still I find that I can get same results on PSP X2, I really enjoy it much more than Photoshop.

You change your mind and start to do at least basic editing of your photos. If you are not a Photoshop fan like me, you can try to use Paint Shop Pro. I've a forum thread here were I mentioned some basic steps from my workflow, and got advice from pro's on how to improve it. Since I'm now dealing with eliminating noise, I can tell your picture is too noisy, and noisy pictures are risky even if the noise is intentional. Something else that I learnt recently is that overall voters will score down any oversaturated picture, and your picture looks oversaturated to me. At last but not least, I'd mention also that the photo is too dark.
