Red. Nice selective focus. And I have to give you an extra point for the title -- love it when they work on more than one level.

I think the set-up and technique work perfectly together -- title is just right. I wish the moon wasn't there and I also think the brightness of her dress is overpowering but as you are working with red on red, I see that it works for separation purposes. Good score from me.

"Huan Shen" Celebration

What I especially like about this one is the background that really suggests the event and keeps this from being static. The burning flame is a nice touch and though I can't really make them out, I have a sense that there are people moving back there, too. Very nice perspective.

Interesting, pretty, red, and tack sharp where it should be. Nice almost abstract. I can see this framed in an oriental restaurant or a dining room with an oriental decor.

Red..

I really like this -- like especially the fact that you show the scissors cutting. The very sharpest focus seems to be on the edge of cut fabric at the top -- I would love it to be on the scissor handles which are slightly soft imo (though that could suggest motion so I don't know . . . ). Nice entry.

Spruced Up

Very nice focus and detail on the cardinal -- so lovely of them to hang around for winter pics as they are so showy against the often neutral backgrounds of that season. I find the two right to left golden diagonals distracting but I also know you have little to no control over stuff in the way of a capture like this. Good image imo.

I like the dof a lot here and this gets a nice score from me. Can't help feeling there's a story here and I would like to know more about it.

Nicely detailed. Red doesn't look quite right to me -- a little orange -- but the use of selective focus is good.

Red it is and the depth of field certainly defines this bold image. I like it.

Such a cutie and the focus is perfect. Love all the red touches in her outfit -- the white shirt and tights keep it from being too much. I might have liked it better if she was looking at the camera but that doesn't keep it from being a top pick.
