I really like this one. I like how you can see the reflection of the pink flower in the knife. I don't know why the 5.0, but I like it! :)

I don't understand this photo - is the green/yellow thing the punchline?

Interesting picture. The bit of color is great. Nice reflection.

Well, it's definately a knife, but it doesn't seem to have a purpose. Looks like it was toseed in a fish tank? The reflection isn't helping me to figure out why the knife is in the sand next to a plastic plant? Focus looks sharp on the blade, but looks like maybe a bit oversharpened (no pun intended) due to the white areas around the knife. could just be reflection though, if so my apologies. the background doesn't contain any distractions, however, I don't feel that it adds to the image either. This doesn't affect the score any, but I will also mention that the border doesn't work with the image. Maybe a plain thin black border would work best. presentation is important. ~Heather~
