"The Look.."

Soft focus works well here to give it a sort of fanciful look.

This needs a bit more light to stand out, I think.

Fix the tilt and this image would be even better.

Another one of those blond-girl-in-a-field-of-wheat photos. :)
This came out really well, and fits the challenge perfectly. The title is a bit weak, though.

I'm adding this to my favorites. Excellent compisition and color. The lighting adds a lot as well.

Is this an apple-shaped piece of metal or an apple that's been painted with gold paint? The composition is very strong and cleverly executed. One thing that I think would make this jump out even more is that, if it is indeed an apple painted with gold paint, had you left the bottom right chunk of the apple unpainted, it would've looked like the transformation to gold was progressing through the piece of fruit. Just a thought. But this works very well as is.

Took my eyes a couple seconds to process this. Looks like an amazing place.

Makes me want chocolate. Good choice of subject. Composition could be improved with maybe a bit more space between the top of the image and the chocolate.

What a face! Such character. Clever idea for the challenge, and I like how it came out. The teeth stand out extremely well because the face has such a deeply textured, rough look, and the teeth are so smooth and featureless.

Golden Girl

Blond girl in a straw hat in front of wheat or some other brittle bleached grass. Classic subject material for a "Gold" challenge, and the execution is great. The shallow depth of focus works well, creating a simple gold background - this would've also been a good entry for the color on color challenge.
