Note: contains criticism

11th place - Dr. who?

I really like the angle you chose. However, I'm sorry, but it just didn't really sing for me.

10th place - Bluebird

I like the shape of the tree, and the picture is framed nicely, but I think you can be more creative next time. 

9th place - Quill

I also like the tilted angle for this one and the trees in the background. The close up plants kind of get in the way of the background trees for me. You probably have a different opinion, and that's ok!

8th place - Dandelion

I love the drops of water on the leaves, but I think the flower can be more in focus. Maybe that's not what you were aiming for though... Hmm...

7th place - Poetic Panda

I really love how you can see the grass close up, then everything else slowly blurs together.

6th place - coyotedomino

I LOVE this picture, however I think it focuses more on the wall then the tree. I think it would be better entered for a desert theme.

5th place - Lily Pad

I love the rustic nature mood of your picture. It's also very clear!

4th place - Pheasantwithbooks 

I love the detail of the flowers. They are perfect because they are imperfect! A very beautiful picture.

3rd place - Starseeker

I lovelovelove this picture! It's a redwood, right? I like how I can see all the way to the top of the tree. This picture makes you feel like you are growing with the tree!

2nd place - Silverwaxwing 

I LOVE how the sun outlines everything in a golden edge. I've always liked silhouette pictures. It IS a little fuzzy, though.

aaaaaaaaaaaand (drum roll please) FIRST PLACE!!! Twirlgirl!!!!!

I also love they angling on this one! The lighting is great too and I think the parts that are in focus and out of focus are perfect!! (I also love the color :))
