Got Water?

my only suggestion would be to have had a bite taken out of the pepper so she had a reason to be sweating and looking like that.
Otherwise it's a good attempt at the challenge.

edit...maybe there is some pepper missing at the end of it, but it isn't very clear.

Hot 'n Spicy

that's better!
I've been seeing too many out of focus shots this morning.
But not this one.
very clear.
the red glow/reflection on the bottom of the pan is a nice touch.
well done and good luck.

Fireing a Glass Masterpiece

Comment:
it certainly looks hot!
but the focus isn't.
it seems off.
Maybe because of the heat?
either way, it detracts from what otherwise looks very interesting.

Bullseye
by jodiecoston

Comment:
a good image.
the only negative parts are that I think the foreground is too dark, it would have been nice to see more of the balls.
and (very nit picky) is that the centre white circle is distorted a little too much by the refraction in the red liquid-which I'm guessing is frozen?

Comment:
nice, simple, clear, crisp.
I don't like the bottom right flowers though.
Maybe if they were in focus also?

Sunday in the Park

Comment:
the colors are very vibrant.
and there isn't really anything of interest in the picture.
I'm not knocking the picture, it looks like it would have been very nice when you were there, but I don't think you've managaed to put that across in the photo and that's the hardest thing about photography!
Good luck.

Absolute dedication

great capture.
I've nearly finished voting and I haven't seen anything that's really grabbed me yet.
Apart from my own entry of course :-)
But I think this has the makings of a ribbon winner for sure.
But, here's the bad news, I'm not very good at prediciting the winners!!!!
So I hope I haven't jinxed you.

Dave Matthews One of the Big Names at the New Orleans Jazz Fest

Comment:
I've met him!
Twice!
No, really, I have.
Ask me about it when the challenge is over.
I'd certainly like to see what other shots you have of him.
Actually, my girlfriend would like to see them.

Anyway, back to the photo!!!!
I'm sure a lot of people won't appreciate how fortunate you were to get this shot, there can't be many places where you can take such a clear picture of such a big celeberity.
The DOF is good.
I think his face is just a little lacking in focus.
But his sweat and expression show how much the music means to him.

perhaps a little more contrast could have made this stand out more.
