I'll bet you're getting a lot of comments about the border. This isn't one of them. I think the image is very well thought out and quite creative.I have to wonder how much time you invested in this one. :)

I empathize. :) I had to laugh. I like it, one of my favorite in the challenge so far.

Been looking at this one for a while. I like the idea, but would have preferred to have the person more prominent in the image. The motion blur in the grass is a bit distracting. As landscapes go, it's a little drab, but the juxtaposition of the high tech in the natural environment is a good one. (Oh, and I bumped you up one just because you got me to look long enough to notice the duck.) :)

I like the processing on this one. I'm not certain about the title, but I'll come back for the explanation after the challenge. :)

Great use of lighting. I've seen (and been in) a lot of these standard military portraits where the lighting is flat and uninteresting. You've done a great job of creating an engaging portrait here.

I assume that you dressed her to match the sky on purpose. :) Nice image, and I envy you your office. (Mine has these stupid wall things. . . .)

Books, I found, had the power to make time stand still, retreat or fly into the future.

I'm not sure about the overall composition, as I really want to be able to just crouch down a bit and see more of his face. Still, I'm liking the texture of this image. (If that makes sense.) :) Your processing is spot on.

The Beginning of a Sweet day

Good use of fill flash, and I like the way the color pops against the background. Your horizon appears a bit tilted.

What a beautiful horse, and very sharp. You did well, isolating him from the background.

One Teaspoon of Sugar

I like it! Very cute idea, and it had me chuckling. As for the composition, I think you would have been better served with the spoon on a diagonal within the frame.

Sweet Strawberry

Great composition, though I think stopping the motion with a faster shutter speed could have helped this one. Still, one of my top ten in this challenge.
