Love the colors. The con-trails look like brush strokes across the sky.

This is one of my favorites in the challenge. Loaded with different textures. Should have done even better. Congratulations.

Everytime I think I've come up with a unique subject, someone else does it (and usually much better, as in this case). I have one of these in dark wood, and it's one of my favorite things. My first try didn't come out well and then I went out of town. Glad I didn't submit my image; this would have put it to shame. I like the black background and the composition. PS, trying to remember what these are called. If you know, please tell me.

I hereby bequeath unto you the yucky fly picture award! Wow, that thing is full of texture. Don't think I'd order a print, but I really like what you've done with the little critter. Nice focus.

I love everything about this image. The juxtaposition of punker and innocent child is compelling. B/W was a good color choice, though I imagine that hair was pretty bright. Reminds me of my best friend and her daughter in their younger days. Nice light, DOF, composition...everything.

Great sketch Randy. Of course he started out with a good picture. How did you find the artist? I've been thinking about doing some sketches from photos. Did he charge you?

Not really a beetle, but a true bug (assasin bug); and a really cool one, at that. Great eye for spotting and capturing such a good shot of it! Never seen one with those markings. Think I'll put him in my favorites.

I really liked this shot and expected it to do much better. It's too bad that we are so out of touch with our humanity that this coul be considered offensive, especially considering what the media portrays as "acceptable".

I agree with skiprow, it stuck in my mind long afterwards too.
