LOL! Well captured, great sense of motion while keeping the subject sharp, and fantastic title.

Well done with great detail and composition. My first reaction before looking at the title was a little sad as I thought about the liklihood the runt will not survive, so I imagined the story/title would have something to do with the runt's plight. Hope I'm not raining on your optimistic title, just thought you might appreciate my alternate reaction. Powerful photo overall that tells an interesting story.

Congratulations on the ribbon and PB, and great job with your twist on this style. I think it's simple minded of people to dismiss a technique just because it has been done. Sunsets have been done too, but when a shot is well done it doesn't matter how many sunsets came before it. The voters seem to agree ;)

Congratulations on an excellent photo and the new PB. This is such a perfect entry for this challenge and now your son will get to see this ghost on your profile page for a while. :)

Hey, the commenters got it right yet again! This one belongs in a gallery (art, not shooting). You're an idiot if you don't give yourself an award for this (or at least way too humble).

Awesome! I thought of shooting a geode this week but couldn't get my hands on one in time. Sharp and your composition is very effective.

Innovative shot Irene! I can just imagine how difficult the decision was between shots. Congratulations and I hope you don't get bored with finnishing top 10 so often.

I like your pattern for this very much. Excellent sharpness and DOF. This drop looks like it should be reproduced for a set of chess pawns :)

Great color, detail and composition. This is one of those shots that really invites me in to look around.

Very interesting. This is such a great pattern. It feels a little oof and the light seems a bit harsh for me. Still, it's a wonderfully unique capture.
