Congrats on your first ribbon! It's obviously not going to be your last. You pulled this off using a strawberry, for crying out loud- one of the most common subjects in this group!

The majority of this site's members have never achieved your AVERAGE score (across your first 3 challenges). What a way to start! Oh... I can see you're going to be trouble. ;-)

My favorite brand, a great concept, and excellent execution. A tad dark on the right, but it's a minor quibble. 9

Very creative, and well-executed! You earned a real, live chuckle from me- and a 9.

Good setting and exposure, but unappealing chocolate choice. The long orientation pointed toward the viewer doesn't really lend itself to shallow DOF.

Wonderful concept, a funky visual effect, and a great title to tie it all together. Well deserved! You were overdue for a ribbon anyway... it's been almost three weeks since your last one. Bet you were starting to get a nervous twitch on your shutter finger. ;-)

Great job! You're on a roll lately. Might as well add you to my favorites now- you're defintiely a dangerous competitor. ;-)

Life Sentence (kinda reaching)

You might have pulled it off if the cat didn't seem so content. That sort of ruins any sense of detention.

This is a really creepy shot. I think you lose something with such a nicely manicured hand in this situation. I'd remove the ring, get the hand nice and dirty, and contort the fingers a little to really show the struggle. Maybe B&W too. Still, a very creative approach! 7

Great shot, Andy. Congrats on your first ribbon!

Coincidentally, I actually worked on the advertising for Glenfiddich at Chiat/Day in the late 80's. Funny that it should show up here.
