8 - Especially like the originality and simplicity. Colors are nice. Like the composition, however wonder if a fraction more centered, or else off-centered, plus a slight tweaking of colors may have given this even more impact.

I really like this one. Wish there were a bit more light on the focal point, but nice shot.

This one grows on me the longer I look. A little more brightness of the subjects would be nice. Wonder if you tried a diagonal composition. Nice image.
