One of my favorites! I love the processing and it was such an interesting angle, I had to keep wondering from where you took the picture!

You've been awarded a bluebird!

Usually I don't give bluebirds when people are in the top ten, but I think this is a truly spectacular shot -- it simply has to have a bluebird award!

ok, my husband is looking over my shoulder as I view this one. We both agree that she is good and we both like the red very much. There's something not right with his legs. My husband says that they both disappear in a black blob. I just don't like them cut off at the knee. Perhaps if the one leg was bent more to get more definition, or if they were bent back behind. Something just feels very awkward with him, the pose and the crop. She is great, though. I agree, though, there doesn't seem to be anything between the two. She actually looks like she could be a little upset, but he's just oblivious. Oh wait, I guess it is realistic! :P

I can't tell what I think of this. It's almost as if the right eye is just too sharp for the rest of the picture. I guess I would have liked a softer focus if you were going to cut off the depth of field that quickly. The lighting and pose are both absolutely spectacular, however.

This one is very fun! I love the looking out of the tops of her eyes, she looks devilish! Again, I'd crop in a tad from the left (oops, sorry, told that to another person the first time around.) I'd crop in just a tad from the left--it doesn't add much having the empty space.

fun shot, seems a tad oversharpened. Lovely background! The whiskers stand out wonderfully! Nicely done.

I don't know that the head bothers me all that much. The softness only bothers me in the eye, it works fine on the face. I would crop it in a tad from the left, however.

Fun idea, fun shot, very nice lighting. It's odd that his chin is below the seat in front, but it brings out just how young he is. I like it quite a bit!

ok, this started off at 6, but I have to move it up to an 8 today. It really grows on you -- very interesting!
