One Bicycle Too Many

Interesting interpretation of the challenge (and refreshing after seeing so many wheels and chains). Wish the technicals were a little stronger so I could give it a higher score, but it gets points for originality!

Beautiful! So simple, and great colors. This is a nice little reminder that beauty is everywhere around us. Glad you stopped and got the camera!

This is wonderful! Perfect use of shallow dof, and I love the way you found the little bunch of flowers peeking up over the rest.

Wow, JP! Great to see you back and with such a wonderful image, too! This should be perfect motivation to really get out there and fill up that portfolio! Congrats! :)

Look at that cute little face! I'm partial to tuxedo kitties with the little white socks since that's what my kitty looks like, but this little guy is just adorable! I love how you caught him peeking out at you.

I love how Zippi is staring right back out at Baby Kat. I wouldn't have thought to use this type of processing on such cute little critters, but I think it works with the little stare-down they have going on with each other! Very cute!

I like this a lot better than your challenge entry. The shallow dof is wonderful here, and I love the textures of the chair with the textures of the fur. I think you may be able to cut off a bit of the empty space at the top of the shot and get rid of the blue. A great shot though, and much improved!

This is beautiful! I love that this shot is so wonderful, and doesn't look like it was shot specifically for an even challenge (but it works so well for the challenge)! The little delicate flowers are wonderful, and the way the horses are in the same position is fantastic and the contrast between the two gives the shot a little extra interest. My only nitpick is that the brown horse is just a bit dark, and you can't see the details and texture of the fur as well as you can on the white one. Well done! :)

Interesting contrast of both color and shape here. I like the reflections too, but feel like there is just a little too much extra space at the bottom.

What cuties! Interesting looks they're giving you. I like the natural environment you've captured them in, without any fences. Overall, the shot feels a bit static though, but not sure what you could have done to change that with the way they are laying.
