Contagious smile! There is still hope in the world. The chalk scribbling on the door and the white crumbs on the ground add so much to the charm. Top 10.

A fairy tale image with its drop of wickedness in it for good measure. Great color palette! Top 10!

The more I look, the more I love this photo (that is already striking to begin with). It has a feeling almost religious about it: the serene and kindhearted acceptance of what any second can bring!
A completely (heartfelt) 10!
Let's see what the competition adds. Hard to beet this one.
The Girl with a Veil! The Complete Buddhist! Thanks!
Ah, this tiny blotch of reflection on the tiles at left ... can you please clone it? talking perfection ....

I love this humongous bumble bee shredding dandelion! I seldom care for a border. This beast does not need limitations!

You are perfectly right with the mishap of the wheels. Other than that, great picture!

Gorgeous photo! I love the tail effect giving a tremendous feeling of impatience and the line of the ground. Never been to such a show and enjoyed thoroughly all 4 pics!

worming my way into your heart

Good title. It's more like roping my way ... The color confuses me; too much like soil. As they say, this has more potential. I very much appreciate the humor though and hoped for fresh ideas.

Lupercus the Shepherd.

What a relief after hearts and chocolates! I quite like them, but at DPC I long for a different approach than the cards one might get at Hallmark. Now, on the subject at hand: Lupercalia was a festival observed in Feb. - a sort of cleansing ritual. Lupercus is god Pan - oh yes, still celebrated in Feb. So you beat around the Valentine's bush! Clever. I would change the head of the shepherd though.
