Anna's Hummingbird with raindrops
by william88

Comment:
Very nicely captured -- I particularly like the reflections in the bird's eyes..
The dof is spot on. The bird is perfectly sharp, and the raindrops give it a very nice touch.

Complementary Spice
by LaMas

Comment:
I like the peppers 'embracing' each other.
I love their reflection and the negative space.
I don't particularly like the head of the green pepper though; it looks as if though it's been chewed off..
I find it's just a tad bit too dark on the bottom, too, to the point where it's losing a bit too much detail.
**Edit** On a better calibrated monitor, I'm able to see more detail on the bottom of the green pepper.
The lighting is spot on.

Overall, you did a great job, especially avoiding harsh highlights, and keeping the shot interesting and moody.

Bump to 10. I dig it. Hope to see it ribbon.

Tomato Ninja

One of the best so far!
I think it's the band-aids in the righ hand that completes it for me!
10, and I'd imagine I will be seeing it in the top-three.

Fly With Compound Eye
by bnilesh

Comment:
Really amazing and inspiring work.
Very detailed, sharp, eye-catching (pun?).. Focus is perfect, dof is perfect.
Only annoyance would be the black triangle on the bottom-right, but understand that with these shots you can't really plan ahead. As such, I won't let it influence my score.
Can't praise it enough. I hope to see it in the front page.

It's Raining Cats and Dogs

Comment:
Your work is fantastic, and truly inspiring.
Fun, creative and appealing, and very artistic.
I love the boots matching the umbrella, and the 'dots' on the chalked umbrella half-finished.
You've certainly developed your own style which appears to get better at each challenge.

Imagine
by odriew

Comment:
I really like this -- I like the muted colours, her face expressions, the dreamy feel of it..
I really don't get the ear-muffs though. They seem a bit distracting for me.
And the socks (appear) to be worn on the toes..
Of course, I could be completely wrong.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt, as it's such an appealing image, and I hope you do well.

Broccoli
by h2

Comment:
One of my favourites from this challenge; I love the amount of detail, how crisp the broccoli is, the reflections on the fork (which are, incidentally, green, also complementing the red background!).
There is nothing I could comment on that I don't like.
There's a small 'scratch' on the bottom left of the fork, but it's not enough to drop any points.
A definite 10.

Red, "You look great, Green!"

Comment:
This is awesome.
Not the best in terms of technicalities (ie, the flash is a bit too harsh reflecting), but you get extra point because the colours are literally complementing each other!

4:35 AM

Comment:
I'm sure a lot of people will mark this down because, whilst it might have been taken at 4:35am, it wouldn't have made a difference than if it were taken at 2 in the afternoon..
In any case, I love the symmetry. It's eye-catching and has a certain 'wow' factor to it. I certainly hope it's a shot you had "prepared earlier"!
The background does seem a bit noisy, particularly toward the bottom.
7 from me.
