Helleborus orientalis

Beautiful flower. I think the shapes of the petals work really well in this, like they're playing with the white, then curving in, then jumping back out.

I think if you were to include the bottom of the glass in the shot, that would be good. I like the sense of motion with this. Looks very creamy.

Shells

This is lacking a sharpness that I think would really make that DOF breathtaking. I like the composition, the subject, the colors... I just wish that shell that is the focus were sharper.

Blending In

Aw, what a cutie :) I like this photo, but I wish his eyes were lighter (not that there's anything you could do about that) because I think if the irises stood out more from the dark fur around his eyes it would really pop. As is, I like it. I think a little more space between his nose and the crop would be nice.

Huh?

They eyes pop and are really nice, great exposure for this challenge and nice composition.

Binkies in the Snow

I love the dof and the colors here, they really pop. But I think that the full-size copy (compared to the thumbnail) isn't as polished as I expected it to be. The green pacifier is rougher/has more imperfections than I expected and I think it would be a stronger image if it were smoother.

I've been looking at this for a while. It definitely meets the challenge, so no problems there. The thing that I notice the most other than the subject is the darker corner in the upper right. I also think the subject isn't quite sharp enough or perhaps it is just slightly too overexposed. I can't really put my finger on it, but there is a quality in this photo that keeps it from being great, but prevents it from being bad.

Focus on the flower

This is beautiful. The yellow pops and the stem is so soft and the lighting and exposure on the petals is perfect. Great dof as well. Just lovely.

Calmness in the Turbulance

To me, this does not meet the challenge... "Take a photo in which the background is white and the subject is predominately a lighter color." I suppose the background is white if your subject is the person's face, but all the darkness in the picture takes away from that.

The Flight

I LOVE this. I love the sparse, black tips of their wings and I love the dof and I love the randomness of their placement and I love that the ones are the bottom are a little cut off - it makes me feel like this is a pattern that could go on forever. Really well done.
