Good still life. Might benefit from a more asymmetrical composition.

beautiful flower, but it's a little flat for HDR challenge.

The background is kind of distracting for me. In my opinion this is not HDR and the flower seems to be OOF. The colors and light are pleasing though.

An average flower shot to me. I can see how nicely the HDR techniques have helped the details to stand out, but it's not going over either really well nor poorly with me. keep in mind I am not a big floral fan, so one has to really stand out to get my attention.

doesn't seem like HDR to me, probably is but the shot could be acheived without HDR if the light is in the right direction.

I shall be rating this challenge by the following criteria:

1 - Not HDR in my opinion

3 - HDR is way over-done, in my opinion

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion
