Funky white balance, but clever idea!

Someday you'll be selling these shots for thousands at some posh gallery and laugh at our utter ignorance. ;-)

This probably would have been one of your better scores. The playful lines really add a nice touch to your typically stunning portraits.

Funny! That would be the new Mini on the left, I assume? ;-)

Congrats on your ribbon! Simplicity was the key to your success here, and you did a great job (I gave it an 8).

Well OK... top 35 (which I find shocking). Love the concept!

Superglue, huh? So we're BOTH nuts! LOL! Nice to see at least one of my 10 votes get what it deserved. ;-)

This defies every principle we hold dear... it's grainy, the subject is unappealing, the scene is kinda' cluttered... and it's beautiful. A wonderful example of artistic photography that draws you in with an elegant composition and a "peaceful' ending. I particularly like that the mouse seems to be holding the leaf like a flower, and the title is almost poetic. One of the best in this challenge IMO. Great job!

EDIT- it appears that I made a scoring error and gave this something less than a 10 on the first pass. I've corrected the problem. ;-)

Nails the topic. Color, lighting, DOF and focus are all right where they should be, and you've made it special by capturing the "moment" of takeoff. I'd probably crop a little more off the top and bottom, but what would REALLY improve this shot is a ribbon next to the title. ;-) 10

Brilliant concept, perfectly lit and executed. One of my favorites, and sure to make the top 5.
