Clean and simple. A nice set-up with excellent clarity. That the only color is the golden tea is very nice for the title/username.

Excellent focus and he does look as if he's just learning to fly -- even if he's a little old for that LOL I particularly like the way he is straddling the wall and looking down as if to gather his courage for taking off.

Fine detail in this beautiful hawk portrait and I like the space on the right. One of my favorite entries.

I'm sure this is a set-up but I love the candid feel to this shot. Great attention to detail, excellent tones and textures. Is that TV set full of popcorn? Might be my favorite in the challenge.

Lighting and detail are lovely, this cat looks VERY comfortable on the deep red cushion -- excellent title fit. The open eyes and reclining head are very nice. Not sure I would have cropped the ear tip off but this is still a top pick for me.
Not sure why I thought the tip of the ear was cut off -- I must have needed to scroll as it's obviously there now LOL Sure glad I didn't deduct :)

I really like the idea here -- hard to combine "cute" and "poison" but the amulet idea and the pretty bokeh background do it for me. One of my favorites.

Simple but clever idea and well done.

Great color. The background, while very busy, adds to the gaiety and works particularly well with the username. Well chosen and shot.

Excellent stop action -- great focus and I really like the grimace on the one wrestler's face and the inclusion of the ref.

Beautiful color. The eyes are almost overdone -- whites are unnaturally so imo -- but for the title, maybe this is appropriate. Lovely lighting and editing imo -- soft but not featureless. One of my top picks.
