An interesting take on the competition scores you bonus points from me, and just *barely* manages to stay within what I consider the topic limits. The image is sharp, and the colors are nice. The scene evokes a vague sense of peaceful wonder at the beginning of new growth.

This is the image I was going to do, but ran out of time this week. I'm glad someone did it. And did it well. Very nice textures in the leaves and flower pedals. I really like the black background as well, which helps the image 'pop'. Beautiful colors. I hope this image does very well...its one of my favs! <9>

Wow seeing this one really gave me that feeling.. The feeling of that each one of these stones is one person leaving maybe tens, maybe hundreds behind that really cared for him or her. And i truly believe they did die for a reason, for us, so that we could be free to be who we are. Powerful photo, good lighting, awesome angle.

Reminds me of Arlington National. B&W is good choice here. I'd like to see the shot with stronger shadows.

This is a fantastic photo - the focus, lighting and composition are great. I do think it would have been so much more suitable to have some full sized nails and perhaps another full sized tool or measuring tape of something in the picture to show how small it was instead of a quarter and a rock.

Beautiful capture of the chipmonk! Focus is awsome. DOF is perfect. Tie in to theme is a bit weak but it's such a good picture it doesn't really matter. Good job.

Might work better with a specific brand (Ruffles, it looks like) in your tag line. Top notch image :) I can see the storyline surrounding it too, which might make a great video ad.

Wow - amazing shot. I'm a huge fan of these birds, which might add to my appreciation of the image, but disregarding that, it's very crisp, well composed, and even a perfect catchlight in its eye... Great! 9

The balance in this composition really compliments the subject. Also love the color combination of blue sky and so green trees.
