What the heck happened, I didn´t know otters could do the magical bunny hop and jump up two places :P

Congrats mate, that means you are currently in 1st place for ribbons this year but don´t get to comfortable, as fences and centered composition are the last two challenges posted in 2006 that are still open I plan to get a ribbon in one of them and dethrone you!!!

Congrat´s you, you, you big Shannon you!

This one I like. Great texture and exposure and environment. Only thing I really dislike is the addition of BOTH vignettign and a frame, I think that´s a bit redundant and would have preferred this entry with only either but still one of the effects. Anyway, one of the best in the challenge as far as I am concerned, gave it an 8.

Well certainly meet´s the challenge but I kindof feel like I am looking at a picture of really nothing since there is no main subject in the photo. Still nice and got a 6 but just lacks a place for my eyes to stop.

Bubble Trouble

Well this is a cool concept but could stand to be better executed technically, specifically the fact that the girl is out of focus and has such wierd skintones and wierd texture in the face (wich I blame on the post processing, I think the girl is very cute of course). I really like the idea and the distortion on the boy makes it really seem like he´s trapped in there. Maybe some soap reflection on his bubble would perfect the illusion (I mean blue oilish reflection like is on her bubble) 6 from me.

This kindof makes me think of Cutter´s Triptych ribbon. Anyway, a nice shot and pretty well captured, think I would have liked it better if the eagle had been in the upper right corner and not the left and I personally may even have gone so far as to move it since that´s allowed in the ruleset but I respect that you didn´t. A small halo around the bird though that bothers me, you sure your monitor isn´t a little too bright? Anyway, great shot, 7 from me.

A nice shot but not quite enough for me to give a higher score than 6, just lacks that certain "wow" factor for me personally but absolutely nothing wrong with it.

An ok shot, fit´s the challenge certainly but I have a hard time connecting to the subject without having a face there somewhere.
