This definately meets the challenge it is soft. But for as soft as it is one thing stands out to me as just being to soft, the eyes. With the dogs coloring and the soft focus you lost the dogs eyes. I think had you been able to pull more detail around the dogs eyes the photo would have been outstand.

Congrats Terry on the win, its a very nice droplet photo. Now don't be afraid to rub it in on those who complained about the cliche and overdone effect. Cause you got the ribbon and they didn't!

Hi Ursula, guess who got your photo to critique. =o)

Beautiful image with excellent composition. I wouldn't change anything in it. Does look like the day before a snow storm to me, and we all know that there is a slight change in the air then, so I would have to say it does meet the challenge as well.

Stunning thats my final word on this.

Nice image with a bit of warmth created by the pantyhose. I would like to see a little more under the perch possibly the tailfeathers at the very least.

Definately meets the challenge. Nice effect without spending the cash.

Very nice image. Only thing I can see that might improve a little more is moving the lighthouse to the right slightly it is neither in the middle or the right third. I think cropping a little more off on the right would have made this much stronger.

Overall the focus and detail are good. I do believe you also met the challenge very well. Nice work. Hope to see more of the lighthouse in future challenges.

I found this to be a rather interesting photo during the challenge, brought a smile to my face with the title.

I think the idea you have going here is cute and would have done fantastic had this been an abstract challenge. After reading the comments I believe you were like me, you did a still life and yet those who couldn't think past a traditional studio still shot didn't understand the still life here. Only thing I would change in this is the placement of connectors or whatever you call them in the center. With the strength of the lines to the right I would have cropped out the bottom to the left and brought the connectors to the bottom left third to create more of a sunburst effect with the different lines.

Very nice thinking outside of the traditional still life!

Interesting, the slinky made for a good subject here. I would say you definately fit the challenge with this as it appears to go on and on. I realize you were using a very limited dof but at the same time that left you with just not enough in excellent focus. You are blurry on the outside and in the center, I'm sure that hurt you in the voting.

You definately met the challenge.
