What! No comments? That's a bit harsh. Could have done with a bit more saturation and a tad more contrast. Some human (whole) elements may have also help the viewer connect to the image a little more.

... is full of woe?

An interesting photo... and I think it would have done a lot better if the eye in the magnifying glass wasn't OOF... it's a bit disconcerting. I love the girls freckles and her eye (the in focus one).

Nice composition and processing.. though, could have done with a fraction more contrast (IMHO). Love the border.

Nice water, but I'd have lost the overexposed section on the opposite bank.

Hmmm... nice bird. Nice colour... unfortunately, not much more to it.

This might be a bit hypocritical of ME... but the vignette doesn't work for me here. Also, the colours a bit flat... and the tree is a little OOF. But despite all this, I did give it a 6 in voting, so it does have a bit of a POW with the instinctive voters, much like myself on my first pass.

Nice photo. Interesting car, but I'm really for fascinated by the guy with the tats, smoking in the doorway next to the "no children allowed". There's so much going on in the photo, it's great... though I think the "RedEye" sign is a bit dominant.

A beautiful street photo... processing makes it look a little cartoonish though. I love the look on the woman's face (on the left)... she's NOT HAPPY with the fella. Would have love this if the guy in the centre showed some plumbers crack... ala RTK's Top Shelf.

Best HDR image in the FS. Beautiful photo, beautifully processed. I love the clouds, and the boats. I gave this an 8 in voting, and trying to think what you could have done to get the extra one or two... only thing I could think of would be to not enter a HDR photo so soon after a HDR challenge... HDR fatigue I guess... which is probably a bit too harsh, to be honest. Sorry.

A beautiful capture. Congratulations on making 300 challenges. I love the flares/sunspots, the back lighting, and the most of all the emotion of this photo. Tilt is a negative for me, as is the prominence of the green pharmacy sign. One thing I have to say, Deb, don't change... we love you... look forward to seeing your next 300 challenge submissions.
