By the glow on the microwave itself, I am assuming you used a blacklight and glow in the dark paint. Either way, looking forward to how you did this.

What's green & red and goes round and round? Two frogs in a blender. :P

One of my favourites in this challenge. I like the shallow DOF, and the pastel colours. Not crazy about the border though, but that is just personal preference.

Fish Blend

I think this is one of the best shots in the challenge. The part that really hooks me to this photo is the everyday feel to it... the walpaper, sink, utensils, and the desaturated look. Not sure I would blend fish, but makes for a great photo.

This reminds me of the scene in Spaceballs when Dark Helmet takes the spacecraft to 'ridiculous speed'. :D

"Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach

Im in the Critique Club, but didnt pull this out from CC, but I will treat this as if I did anyway.

First, the shot is a good one, well exposed, well composed, and the seagull has a nice 'pose' to it. It could be a bit sharper, as it doesnt have the detail in the wings that high scoring images on DPC are known to have.

For me though, I voted this a 5. Mainly because of the subject itself. A seagull to me isnt very special, in fact, I find it an annoying bird, so even good photos of a seagull dont inspire much of a reaction out of me. Not sure if other voters felt the same way, but it explains my one vote anyway.

You are known for taking photos of birds as well, and this is not your first seagull shot. I find the following photo much better:


Overall though, 5.6 isnt a terrible score. You and I were very close in fact.
