Today's animals

Nice creative take on the challenge. Points for being imaginative and thinking outside of the box, but I think you can appreciate shooting a "still" animal is certainly easier then a live one. So that kinda balances out the creative aspect. However high tecnical marks for a good shot.

I wish his head was a bit more distinct and the crop wasn't as tight. However given the difficult subject, I love that you caught him in motion, it's a very interesting picture.

I love the angle of this shot, and the blurry background, clear foreground balance is perfect. I don't think I would change a thing, even the crop makes good use of negative space. Fantastic job.

This is another picture I think should have scored much higher. Very original, and I look forward to your future entries.

Spring Thaw

Outside of this challenge, I personaly would crop this picture so that the water, and seagul are cut off. I'm not sure why but to me they detract from the excellent quality of the lower half of this photo. The two halves just don't seem to blend well. I also would'nt have gone with the white edge/frame. Overall I do like this picture and it meets the challenge, I'm just being overly picky. *grin*

I just kept looking and looking at this picture, and I can't help but think it looks like someone dropped a bucket of shaved ice on the poor flowers. *grin* I may be way off base, but it's looks like a badly faked setup. That doesn't effect my scoring as it meets the challenge and is a good picture, just wanted to comment on it.

Jack Frost Felt Abit of a Prick

Great composition, love the unique sizing, it works with the subject. The only thing I think that detracts are the overy white patches on the top (sun spots?) and the overly large brown border. I think it would have been far more effective if the border was a bit more subtle.

When Good Weather Goes Bad

Meets the "effects of weather" aspect of the challenge. The only thing I would have changed would have been the choice of sepia. I just don't think it fits. Other then that, I think it's a great job!
