Nice find - looks pretty old. Your image doesn't have much impact for me.

This works really well in black and white; there is another three-seeds-left image in color as I'm sure you've noticed. In any event - you've done a good job of meeting the challenge with a well composed and exposed bit of nature.

"All Ears"

Nice idea - an original threesome. I like the slightly diagonal composition, but think it feels "crowded." That could be corrected by not using the basket at all and leaving more room on the sides. I also think the background would give you more "pop" if it was a brighter white instead of the blotchy magenta. Thanks for sharing.

Dandelion with Seeds

Exceptional! That black background makes the seeds really sparkle. Your exposure is perfect. I'd like to see it just a tiny bit more diagonal, but that is a very minor point. You stopped down enough to make the entire image sharp as a tack. Overall a very strong contender.

It's original and works well in the high-key setting. Catchy title! Look at it with any border, I suspect you'll find it doesn't need one.

Three Gulls

Nothing beats a gorgeous sunset on the beach. The birds' silhouettes are wonderful as are the shadows and textures in the sand. The only thing I'd like to do is move the sun out of the center. Actually, I just moved it on the screen so the top is just below the actual sun - and it works very well that way. Overall - it's still a very strong contender, but in this challenge with so MANY great ones, it's going to be tough to get to the top.

Very cute little critters - they don't look very old. Nice exposure but composition is very busy.

This image has a ghood feel to it, rather dreamy. The onlt thing that bothers me is the very bright background competeing for attention.

Walk Along The Beach

Very simple yet effective study of textures. May be a bit more dramatic if the composition was more on the diagonal. Better lighting - right close to sundown would relly make it pop. Overall an excellent job!

The Recital

A work of art. Reminds me of a hand-tinted B&W print. Great positioning of the models - the unusual perspective adds a lot of interest. The only thing that doesn't quite work is the strong vertical line that merges with the middle model's right shoulder. YOu could not have picked better colors for this.
