Wd, only 9 I gave out. Pity about the typo :) Maybe SC will let you "fix" it...

Edit: They did!

Bejeweled Gecko - Hidden Apéritif
by HarveyG

Comment:

Originally posted by EstimatedEyes: Angle of the shot hurts this and loses interest. Get down lower and shoot across his nose, not down at it. Too snapshottish to me, and not much tie to the challenge. Sorry. 4 ETA: I've looked again and I think I see what you're going for, with his tongue reaching into a crack. Hard to see against that background, and still doesn't conjure up a "treasure" to me, but bumping you up to a 5 because its closer than I initially gave you credit for.

Thx for commenting and ETA'ing. His tongue however is not poking out. I would have cropped this shot better if not for the ant...who is actually dangling on a spiders web!

Comment:
Thanks commentators (4 of you found Waldo, the hidden ant) and voters! I'm thinking 73 of the voters also spotted him. This challenge and the stats below tell me a lot about how DPC thinks and interprets them. I also realised that subjective/dubious challenges should result in a shot that almost needs to be in your face to do well.

<5 = 45 (I don't think they got it)
=5 = 77 (I think they did or didn't get it and were being kind)
>5 = 73 (I think they got it)

Treasure or TROUBLE??

Ordinance or a bank robbers stash found. Fair enough. But not hidden.

Blowing bubbles

Comment:
Bubbles and light are treasures to behold, especially to kids and photographers alike. DMC.
On the technical side, lack of focus on the wand and no real visible spherical bubble(s) scored this below average for me. Sorry!

Nicely exposed photo and good colours. I just don't see the treasure aspect. Sorry!

Wonderful landscape photo, water motion and even more amazing the gull stood still for 5sec. Unphased is another adjective you could have used...

Superb, and as traditional wildlife shots aren't received well here (unless they are stupendous), not as well as the plethora of studio, architecture, landscape, I hope you get a great result for your effort.

This is really well photographed and titled. Good balance, comp, colours, just a tad blown around some lights, otherwise a great shot.
