Really neat bird shot, very colorful. I had been hoping for more out of this world strange from this challenge, but I will grant you this is a little strange. It's a very cool bird, lots of credit for it. 7 Swash

Ouch, were any teddies hurt for this picture? Well taken photo. Good contrasts. The flash glare spots are a bit nasty, but hard to avoid. Honestly, I had hoped for more out of this world kind of strange, but this is a bit strange, so challenge met.

Strange Cow

Comment:
Nice shot, very well taken. I really had hoped this was a real, live cow on the roof, so a tad disappointed to discover it's not. The telephones wires are pretty much a no-no, but ther rest is really very nicely done. 7 Swash

Nice contrast in colors. Very well taken photo, but I was hoping for more wildly strange from this challenge. It's a beautiful shot, really. 7 Swash

Stranger In A Strange Land

Comment:
Nice contrast. The building in the background is really bright, colorful, but your subject (IMO the church) is as dramatic, so attention is drawn away from it by the contrasting background. You might try turning up the contrast more, it's legal. The trees seem on the dim side, too. Good challenge shot. 8 Swash

Kitty in the "No Felines Zone"

Really, really great shot of the cat. It's a really pretty cat (I like grey). I just don't see the challenge connection. (Title not withstanding) I really need something IN the photo that reflects the challenge, not just the title. Sorry, it is a great cat shot!

Toto I don't think we are in Kansas...

Really cool shot. Reminds me of early Sci Fi movies that tried to depict strange new worlds with odd coloration. Very cool. I hope you are getting credit for a great concept. 9 Swash (I'm in a really bad DPC mood, can you tell?)

Too Many Goldfish Martinis

This is such a cool shot. The eyes on the side of the glass are killers! Technically there are a few things about the set up that might get dings for, but as I think about them, they are pretty stupid. The glass could have been cleaner or less scratched, can't tell which. The background below the glass could have been a tad less busy, but honestly those are pretty stupid when you really look at this shot. The reflection along the glass is just wonderful, I can't get over it. The reflected fins, the color of the goldfish, back to the eyes, wild eyes. I had started this as a 9, cool shot, considered a 10, but I'll nick you one point for the above trivial minus's (plus the glare in the lower left corner). Nice orange frame.

Well set up. Neat lighting, how did you do that part (blue)? Neat use of mixed props. Very good technically. (I'm in a bad mood, but this is better than a 9, so up you go!) 10 Swash

Poor guy doesn't seem to have much of an audiece. Strong connection to the challenge. Very good focus and detail. Not certain what the man with the crutches is doing here, listening or passing through (can't tell). 8 Swash
(High WOW factor gets you the last two points.)
