Virginia Safari Park

so sorry about the DQ, I really liked this shot!

Nice to see another Virginian! Is the safari park worth it? Natural bridge was so outrageously expensive, we skipped that.

What's bugging your roses?
by Kelli

Comment:
Liked the shot quite a bit, but I think there's too much rose in it. If it wasn't for the title, I wouldn't have noticed the ants. Could you have cropped it portrait and brought the focus in a little more on the bugs, but still have the feel and idea of the rose?

already commented that I loved the title--Loved the reds and the greys. It's too bad that the DOF had to be so shallow. There was such a large fuzzy area that it was distracting. The rest was awesome!

Eye of the Predator

Comment:
I gave this a 5. It was uncomfortably close--made me want to back up. Also, because of so close, it almost looked plastic. Also, eagle shots have been done many times--they're losing their impact for me. So they need to be spectacular to get a good score.

Candy, anyone?

I actually liked the shot, but I didn't know about the pooping part, so I couldn't figure out what the brown blob was, and it distracted from the photo. I gave it a 6. If you would have simply named it pooping pig candy dispenser, it probably would have gotten a 7 or 8 (i really liked the pig, but like I said, the OOF brown blob didn't add much when you didn't know what it was)

nice idea, but I'm not sure it works. The green on the right really pulls your eye away. I like the off center, but I think it would have been stronger if you cropped the leaves off. there really isn't a need to see his/her whole rear end, and it would have drawn the eye to the face instead.
