Wow! I think this would have done much better in the Shallow DOF challenge. Cool picture! Good luck!

I like the colors and texture, but I'm not sure where the focal point is. It all looks a little blurry - I'm looking for the crisp, in focus part of the picture - it's just not jumping out at me.

Great picture. Great lighting and detail in the eye. I would have liked more DOF. Even the hair back by the ear is in focus.

I like the picture. Very nicely executed and meets the challenge perfectly - great colors and detail. Just not very original.

Great picture - beautiful beetle! I would have liked a little more focus/detail on the beetle and less on the hand - but very nicely done anyway!

Blue Christmas

Cute picture, definite DOF, but I question choosing the second ornament as the focal point. The blurry closer ornament dominates too much of the picture. Shifting slightly lower to put the closer ornament higher in the upper left corner and showing more of the 2nd ornament in focus with the girl in the background would have worked better IMO.

Half Past Nine

Nice colors, definite DOF, but I'm not sure where the focal point should be. The upper tip of the hand might have been a better focal point. If the nine was the focal point, it's not clear that's the subject (unless you get a hint from the title).
