Good composition here, nice choice to make it black and white... good dof, beautiful texture. A nice solid photo.To me it doesn't really have the WOW factor, but it's still well done.

Beautiful subject, and kind of abstract looking. I think there are a few things that might have improved this... first and foremost, the piece that I think you are trying to focus on is dead center, it might have been better to crop more putting it perhaps in the bottom left hand corner? Also I feel that a slight bit more dof might have helped.

thanks!!

What a cool bug and a very cool flower. Great definition nice use of DOF, gorgeous colors. What kind of bug and flower are those and where are they from? I'm distracted slightly by the red blur behind the flower, but not tremendously, a solid picture. -8-

Shortcut to Home

Great perspective here with the lines taking so home, nice colors with the setting sun... good definition in the snow. This photo seems so simple, but it really strikes me... and so I'm going to give it a -10- I think it's quite original and well done! Good luck.

Nice lines here, I think though that I would have liked to have seen more definition in the snow... you might have done this with a different exposure. The contrast is quite blatant. Interesting idea though might have been cute to jazz it up just slightly with maybe a girl in a red coat (just an idea) sitting on the end of the fence, and you can see her footprints, or something like that... just taking it a step farther...

Cute! I would have liked to have seen more of the dog jumping and less of his surroundings... depending on the size of your photo you probably could have achieved this with a crop. Great action here the best thing imho would have been a much tighter crop, thats all :-).

Waiting

This is a beautiful soft looking photo. Did you use a star filter? Nice job on the lighting, very calm. Did he actually sleep there waiting for santa, is this conducive to keeping children in bed during the time he comes ;-). Nice composition, good job getting close. A nice photo... maybe a little busy, but I think it's very well done.

Gorgeous picture! What a beautiful animal... he looks so menacing but since you are so close to him, I would guess that he is your pet and you didn't think he'd strike at you?! Great texture to this picture, and very nice lighting. Gorgeous eye! This is very well done, nice job! The only thing I would say is maybe a slightily more open dof but that would have been hard. What kind of snake is he?

Mag? This is really a great portrait.... I love the lighting, and the choice of having it in black and white, it is all very well done, plus I like the white reflection in the glasses that I'm guessing was purposeful. I also think the crop is excellent and very different. -10-

I'm not sure how this was done, I'm guessing you used some photoshop (perfectly legal) but it is REALLY COOL! This just looks awesome... and I'm hoping you'll tell us how you got this at the end of the challenge. I'm going to go with a 10 just beccause I think it's a really cool thing, and well shot.
