beautiful colors and sharpness, giving this shot a pristine look (or perhaps just wishful from someone still buried in SNOW! LOL)

Love the semi-circular shape to the water area. The highlighted horizon stands out well.

LOL...yeah, wondering if it's the water sinking or the boat. Beautiful, fiery colors and nicely silhouetted horizon.

Rest stop for the homeless

Personally, I think that the blurring of the background trees tends to fit perfectly with what has been portrayed in this shot. This man's world may well be a 'blur' to him...or from one dream state to another, with everything blending in but his immediate surroundings since this is likely the only things that he feel connected to. At that moment, his only connection is to the bench and his own belongings.

Out of the tons of photos in here that have this type of a theme, I really think that this one has depth. Congrats on this capture!!! Nicely done!!!

Love the fact that this butterfly was captured in its natural surroundings as a whole as opposed to a shot that has a blurred out background. The colors set the mood and the warmth of tones to it, really make this shot lovely and inviting!

Nibbles - Wild Things #1

GREAT JOB in taking that through a window! I think it adds tremendously to the photo as it tends to concentrate the focus onto the squirrel's face and hands and eyes more, blurring out the rest of the body to some degree. Really nicely captured and done!

What a cute and natural capture! It tells a story if you look at what's happening. I also like the background's effects. Normally, this wouldn't have done well in the mainstream challenges because of that effect but, I think it's what really adds to this photo. Really nicely done!

Really lovely photo! It captures this birds grace and lines. The desat to this shot really works well as it highlights the birds feathers and the definition in its wings.
