You went for the straight shadow, as did I, but at least you didn't get hammered as bad for it. I have to admit that I gave you a 5 in voting as it just didn't feel interesting. It was obvious that it was a young girl, but other than that, just a shadow. So, we both learned something with this one. Don't do it again, LOL!

Boy, this score must have depressed you. I think it really is a good shot, just not technically "perfect". Guns don't seem to score real well here anyway. I like how the gun seems to blend well with the background. The brightness of the watch is good. The focus seems to be a little off on the watch though.

I love the editing but I'm not really too crazy about the subject. I'm kind of trying to see around the bridge to see what's behind it. Maybe that's what makes it interesting, I'm not really sure. Actually in scrolling back and forth to look at it and comment I noticed that if I crop if off below that star it takes a completely different look and I really like it that way.

Wow! It's very green! I know from experience that it probably is really that color. Most people probably think you manipulated it to be that way which might have hurt your score. I love gator shots btw. I didn't vote in this challenge but would have given this a 9.

Congrats on the top 10 finish! I really liked the first shot, with the improvements it's really polished. The reflections are excellent. I would get this framed and hang it on the wall if I were you! Great job!

Maybe it is easy being green.

Great score! This is a cool picture. BTW- I read your post on retiring Kermit. I think he might still have some life left in him, you never know. Really you have a great imagination (something I seem to be lacking lately). Technically this is an excellent shot as well.

I love bug shots. I think you did an excellent job of this and should have scored higher. Excellent detail on the left side of the wings. The bokeh is good. The only distraction is that one small branch sticking up to the right.

I didn't vote in this challenge but would have given it a 5. It really doesn't seem to convey the empty room part. Technically it seems a good picture.

This is a lovely shot. Great warm colors. I love the shadow. Nice placement of your "object". You met the challenge in every way, which your score reflects! BTW - that's 5 challenges in a row above a 6 score. I smell a ribbon soon!
