Waiting to pounce? Nice rendering of the colors and textures of these attractive chess pieces.

Waiting for Dinner

...and not very patiently. Very pretty shot, it really captures the essence of cat. Could stand a bit more DOF; the fur just behind the face and the ends of the whiskers are out of focus.

The reflections on the wet roadway, the umbrellas and the muted light are very effective. The blur of moving buses adds an original touch.

Waiting...

The use of silhouette is very effective, as is the choice of black and white. The picture immediately forces the viewer to wonder what she is waiting for.

Great colors, strong composition and interesting lighting - though there has to be a source other than the torch. One of the best in the challenge.

Battle of Stirling Bridge 1297 (but don't attack on a holiday Monday, as we are shut)

A lovely rendition of the the curves of the bridge, the plants at its base and the blue water. Also, the textures of stone and plants are great. It won't affect the score for the picture - but what a cornball title!

Something Wild

They look like pussycats. Great capture - I especially like the sticking out tonge.

Great creatures, great shot. You've got their shaggy hair sharp enough to pick out the strands, and the colors are great. The blurred out background keeps the focus where it belongs - on the critters. One nitpicking detail, that headless beast in the background is distracting. I think cloning it out is legal in the advanced editing rules.

Box Lunches

Great sharpness lifts this somewhat mundane subject out of its surroundings and makes it pop. I can almost feel the texture of those bricks and weathered wood. I imagine lunches that are better than anything currently on the market, though I cannot imagine what might be in them.

Beautiful composition and colors. This looks more like a painting than a photo. The angle takes it out of the mundane building shot.
