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.

Don't Feed the Gators

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!

What pretty blue eyes (or should I say eye?). Nice job here. I'm not to sure about the DOF though, it kind of looks like his head isn't really connected to that body. It could just be because of the way the shadow fell. He's not looking too happy though.

I know a lot of people like the woody shots, but personally I find them quite bland. Your lighting seems good, maybe just a tad too bright. I like the shadow, but it maybe should have been sharper. I know I'm not being much help here, but I'm really not sure how to fix a woody (LOL). ;)

A Glass of Wine with a Bottle to Go

This is an excellent shot. I can even see the condensation on the bottle. The little sparkle on the wine glass is excellent. I'm really surprised that this didn't score higher. Maybe the part of the wine glass that seems to be blown out hurt you, but I actually like it in the picture. Good job!
