This is another shot that I'm having a problem with voting. I think the focus is completely appropriate for the shot. Unless you were saying the missed focus was because of a shallow depth of field and that both the girl and the dandelion should be in focus...

not voting yet -- still considering.

I don't know how to vote on this one -- it's a wonderful shot, but I don't understand what the missed focus is. You may think that the subject is the girl, but you have the focus exactly where is should be on this shot. Unless you're saying that the dog's face is too soft and that it's nice and sharp on the rear. But I guess that amount of softness doesn't bother me.

Very nicely done. I like the spiral fading off and the curves of the pages. -7-

Good luck with that! (all artists know that "I'm keeping this one" never works...)

Makes me want to get out my yarns, needles and hooks!

I'm sorry if I'm wrong -- but it looks like you have some reflections off of this. I think it would have been better if you would have used a polarizer to cut down on the reflection. 6

I wish you had enough depth of field to get the thimble a bit sharper. 6 as is -- 8 if the thimble had been as sharp as the thread. Nice setup.
