And here are some comments
B6. And then...
Very fitting for this team, but as a picture, I think it's somewhat too, errr, blue. I agree with a previous comment that this image would have benefitted from a non-blue element in it. What I particularly like, is the we're looking at the back of the bear. I think that adds to the blue feeling of this picture.
B7. Coast
Nice landscape pic, the rotation works. Has an eerie atmosphere.
B8. May I present...
Very nice composition, good way of framing the picture.
B3. Blue Beads
Well executed, but for some reason, this image just doesn't work for me. Maybe another viewpoint could have made this scene more dynamic?
R3. Red Hot Music
Like others, I don't generally like overphotoshopped images. I think this one comes out way too harsh, but the composition of the picture totally makes up for it.
R9. Red Strat
Clean picture, technically excellent but again, the composition doesn't do anything to me. To me, it just seems awkward to see a guitar lying around like that.
Y8. Yellow Mellow
I don't know what it is (a flower?), it's not sharp, seems weird and still I like it a lot. Nice abstract and excellent entry for this theme IMO.
Y9. Weather Warning
Very nice editing.

A few rounds ago, Gatecrasher had an idea which sounded fun:
'Perhaps we could all send secret PM's to Nordlys guessing the taker of each pic. The one who gets the most correct wins the title of (drum roll) "Detective of the round!" 😛'

I temporarily forgot all about it, but I am proud to say it took me less than a year to pick up on the idea again. We still have almost a week until this round finishes. I think that's enough time to try this out in this round. Here's a list of the photographers and number of pictures they have entered (voting sections only):

I've sent in my detective work.
Here are some comments on what I thought were the most outstanding entries:
B6. And then she dropped me in a puddle : This just tugs on the heart, hanging out to dry by the with the pegs. The monotone blue is very effective. Simple, subtle. Excellent.
B5. Sky - I just love shots of moody clouds, and this is a particularly fine one.
B8. May I present... : Cheeky. Well composed shot. Made me smile.
R6. Rose. A really beautiful close-up, well lit, sets well against the leaves, fern, and wooden counter.
R9. Red Strat. Great DOF. I like the way the guitar is coming in from the dark. Might be too symmetrical, but still very effective.
Y9. Weather Warning: My favourite shot of the round. Very stylish composition. Great texture and mood. Stunning.
Y10. Pollen : Beautiful close-up. Possibly needed a little more constrast in the background for greatness.
Well done to the photographers.
