The Queen's Nose

This counterfeit (digital photo copy) coin is a great macro lighting success. I wonder if they actually used the Queen's profile to stamp this cash? Thanks.

Part Tree Part Sky

I enjoy this part of the forest where light, shadow and shape collide. Ansel Adams wa-na-be. The contrast is wonderful. I was mesmerized seeing large branches and holes in clouds vanishing into each other. Ten plus thanks.

Hidden Parts

I'm not sure if I'm looking at a table top of the tatoo of an exotic belly dancer. Very hidden part as the title indicates. Thanks a lot.

Part of radio, electronics parts partially exposed for the most parts, parts reflected.

Try saying this tongue twister title five times in one breath. I dare you. Great color, love the reflection and the excellent use of three primairy colors. Crisp photo. Bright upper left corner distracting to me. Love music and your submission. Nined. Ten without the ceiling lighting.

I found this photo, that I absolutely love, portrayed too much of the whole and not enough of the part of the seed for this challenge. The blurred background give me a clear picture of the various seeds about to be released. I can see the classic triangle points so successful in good compositions. The white fluff alleviates what would have been a no contrast, seemingly monochromatic, dark piece. What thrills me is the numerous white lines eminating from such tiny pods in every directions. Great work of art. Easy 8

I saw little wackiness but great color combinations. Good eye. Pixel quality was poor on banana and hair line across large lime distracting like a scratch. Strong texture of red fruits battles well with smoother banana and lime surfaces. Background pattern exellent and none intrusive. Thanks for sharing.

Leslie's Concoction

Is this where budding archeologists experience the thrill of digging through layers of unknown material in need of identification and later food for thought? Some of the forground towards the left being out of focus was distracting but the top blue colors livened up the scenery. The lighting is effective at demontrating uneven surface. I liked the transition between the top right darks against the lower left lighter noodles. Thanks. Now I'm hungry.

Granny Smith's Wild Sister

Excellent choice of background color that has been lacking in a lot of challenges this time arround. I should give you 12 for punching this point home. Great focus, shadow play and creation. Gives a whole new meaning to "...taking a bite of the forbiden apple". Good submission. Thanks.

At first I found the image stagnant but got excited when I noticed the water droplets on the apple and arrow. When I see more after taking a second look at a picture, I feel rewarded somehow. The white background makes the subject stand out but removes in my eye the artistry of color and motion that could have enhanced such a great story telling theme shot. Thanks a lot.

Playing With Your Food

I just love this photo, period. Initially I gave it a 9 after a quick scan of all thumbnails. For days I would spot it somewhere on the edge of my screen. Lets face it, popcorn invented the wacky in food. The subject is fantastic. The busy background adds interest but never steals the focal point and expression of the human popcorn popper. The attraction to the girl just spins us immediately back to the corn flying in the foreground in her face and seemingly floating in a juggling pattern thanks to her open fingers and arm position. Focus and framing is wowingly done. 10 and adding to my favorites collection. Thanks.
