The Search for the Perfect Toy

So much to choose from! With such a busy background, it might have been helpful to choose a shirt which was a solid color... perhaps a yellow to stand apart from the background? Love the money in hand too, a nice touch.

OK Now! Where did I put that leaf?

Title is a bit goofy and perhaps a stretch to connect to the challenge. But the shot is cute enough to stand on it's own between the leaf and the expression.

Like Looking For A ...

Interesting how the needle is in focus, but so is the hay in the background. Might have given that magnifying glass a quick wipe before shooting... looks like it has a few smudges.

Unique crop, but works very nicely (especially with so many other butterfly shots in the challenge).

Mighty Wings Lift A Heavy Load

Wow... what a busy little guy! Great macro... wish the wings were just a bit more of the focal point in the context of this particular challenge, but such a great shot that it hardly seems to matter.

The Majestic

I like that you've chosen to leave just a bit of the wood where he was taking off from. Makes it more of a story of an event instead of just a bird flying in mid air, yet it's subtle and doesn't detract from the main focus. Very nicely done!

Day 28b - Lava Sparkle

Beautiful... love the sparkles of light and how they are the focus of the shot. Nicely framed too... makes for a nice series of abstracts.

Oh my, what the neighbors must have been thinking! The laptop looks a bit too staged, sitting there open and upright, but love the mid-air clothing toss! Great job!

Eggregation

I'm so glad this shot was yours... you always take the time to give the explanations and stories behind your creative shots, and they're usually just as interesting as the shots themselves. It's great to read your progression from an idea, through the 'how-to', with the adjustments you needed to make to get that final shot. For instance, while I was voting, I was so impressed with how you could have possibly gotten the yolk and egg separated so neatly, I never made the connection to the lighting which completed the edge of the shape. Great job, and congrats on yet another ribbon! So, how many eggs did you actually go through? :)

What an expression! I see this from my kitty on a regular basis. Great shot!
