I can't decide if the center focus distracts or adds to this image. From an artistic point of view, this is an interesting image and it's technically competent, I just can't decide if I like it or not. Always error on the side of the author - in this case an 8 instead of a 6.
Oh my, oh my, oh my. I do believe you have a winner here. Just absolutely magnificent! Not quite sold on the color tone of the image...but that's being pedantic. First 9 of the challenge from me.
