That's incredibly lovely. Beautiful detail, great bokeh, love the drops of water (dew?), excellent composition, great crop...sorry, I'm gushing, I just really like this.

I think I'd like this better if the crop was a little lower, just above the other poinsettias at the top of the photo maybe. As it is I find the other colors somewhat distracting, but that might just be me :) Very nice idea and I like the detail in the foreground.

That looks wicked! This kind of photo makes me glad to be part of this site because I get to see things that I might never see otherwise :)

Great colors and composition. I especially like the angle at which the paprika is peeking into the frame :)

Great idea, good composition, fantastic bokeh. The only thing I don't like is that the focus isn't sharper on the champagne bottle label. Not a big deal though because the rest of the shot makes up for it I think.

When the challenge is over this should be a print. Good bokeh, brilliant shot of the raven! I *love* the look it's giving you!

Regretfully, He'll Never Be Seven Again

I think this should've scored higher. It's definitely a candid moment that made a lot of sense to me, maybe because I have a daughter and I know how she reacts to displays like that, AND I've known plenty of men to act the same way she does :) I think it's a great capture of the man's expression and you're right, the mother and her kids add to the picture as well. I gave it an 8 and I'm disappointed that so many people gave it 5's.

Really nice composition, one of the most eyecatching in the challenge :)
