La Tour Eiffel

Aaah! Nice to see a shot which isn't just about tilting the horizon for the sake of it! I like the strong diagonals across the image with the tower itself taking us into one corner and the lower arches spanning from top left to lower right. Works.

I like the content but image quality seems poor. I find myself straining to see any detail. Nice toning.

In my opinion, this is the best in the challenge. I think it's perfect as it is, not too cluttered, the wine bottle and glass are very obvious even with such shallow DOF, the composition is perfect, the lighting colour and strength is perfect...
Can you let us in on some of your processing? Is some of the OOF blur added in processing?

Glad this placed well... I'm a little surprised DPC users wouldn't get the title! It made me laugh!

Wow! That's an amazing capture, were you waiting for hours? That takes dedication! I particularly love the lighting and the way that the frost mutes the backdrop to really focus all attention on the animals. Wonderful.

Lovely, I like how so much of the image is white (or nearly white) and yet those few dark pixels create an entire scene. Great composition too with all that negative space above the horizon.

Lovely use of that diffused light.

Oooh what lovely reflections. They create a fascinating composition and the one single horizontal of the horizon against all the verticals is really interesting.

Lovely detail in the scales and eye and nice use of shallow DOF to make the snakes coils the frame for it's head.

I like the contrast between the fluid motion and vibrant colours of the dancer and the gritty, solidity of the setting.
