For an image that's in the top 10, I'm surprised it received only 1 comment! Possibly because the voters found it nice and agreeable, but not outstanding? Atleast, I do.

I like the subtle color gradient - from orange at the top to the blue at the bottom - the sky reflection. If it were me, I would make the lines go the other diagonal way - possibly a silly personal preference :-) The dark reflection of another building at the bottom left is mildly distracting since the picture doesn't have a strong subject other than the pattern itself.

Congratulations on the top10 finish. And I agree - the building's indeed a nice subject.

Way too cool! I wish it had a stronger subject than just the light rays - I vaguely remember seeing a similar shot on 1x but with a stonger subject, though I can't find it now. Still, my favorite in this challenge, and I hope it ribbons blue.

Neat idea executed very well. Would've probably liked a cooler tone better to imply the title, instead of the warm hues here. Nicely done though. Good luck!

The Fortune Teller

The crystal ball is a nice touch! Lots of details in this picture that are well thought out and executed. Would've like a teeny bit more light on the head wear to bring out the color some more.

I somehow feel that there's something lacking in the stare. It's intense, no doubt, but focusing neither into the crsytal ball nor into the viewer's soul - feels like the person's staring at my chin?

Still, my top 5 in this challenge. Well done.

The title required a bit of imagination :) The picture is an instant wow! Very nice idea well executed. Hope it ribbons.

Beautiful complementary colors. Love the peace and serenity implied in the image. Hope it ribbons.

Congrats on the ribbon!
Technically well done. Might've placed even higher if there were no light box reflection in the water.

Reminded me of Gaurawa's shot:

which in turn was inspired by a picture posted on BBC.

Beautiful! It's fabulous that there are no reflections on any of the flat module surfaces. My top5 in this challenge. Also, I hope you have the permission to post this image in public.

Galah Feather

Comment:
A very delicate image with sensual color combination. Love the drop and it's pattern magnification. I even like the light source reflection in the drop. Would've loved some more breathing space around the feather, but I understand this is a macro challenge. The little bit of noise in the whites and the central placement of the drop are keeping me from scoring this even higher.

Bubble and splash

Comment:
I suspect you might be william88, but in case you aren't, possibly the best picture I've seen of this sort is william88's "Momentary Sculpture" .

Here, you have the red water doing very well against green backdrop, and the full bubble floating around is just amazing timing. The only thing keeping me from giving a 10 is that the picture feels a little unbalanced - there should be a bit more on the left side and chop of a little bit more on the right side. Still, I hope you ribbon.
