Nice image, the dust works really well and trees always look good as negatives

Interesting shapes, however without a focal point it doesn't really retain my attention. I think slightly more contrast could have added interest to the image.

Unfortunately there is one other photo of a marsupial and their detail is crisper and the tighter crop does add to the image. This photograph looks a little snapshotty, probably because the shadow is obscuring the main focus of the image, namely the joey.

There are many similar shots in this challenge, therefore in order to get a really high mark, the image would have to be perfectly focused and jump and at you and also any excess distraction is removed. Unfortunately yours is a little off on both these accounts.

A bizarre photograph, obviously 'new' and very uniquely portrayed. My critisism is only that it looks too 'photoshoped' and the eye doesn't really know where to focus.... on the baby or the bright red dots.

I like the concept, when looking at the photo you are drawn to the shoots first which is good, however, I then get lost in the rest of the photo and everything just blends into everything else. So when I now look back to the main subject, it isn't popping out at me. Maybe a great DOF or a tighter angle (lower to the floor) would have helped.

I'm not sure that the selective desat has added anything to this photo, I like the idea, the image however, comes across a bit 'snapshotty'.

The strong back shadow ruins this photo for me and also you can see where you've tried to cut out the face, especially on the cheek bone.

A bit too grainy for my tastes, also the light cast doesn't really add to the photo

Very shallow DOF that puts the eyes slightly out of focus, great image though, interesting and thought provoking
