OUCH! Sharp

I'm going to comment without looking at other comments first, that way my perspective isn't affected by others opinions. I think this wasn't believable due to the fact that though you see the blood, you don't see a cut. I actually did vote on this during the challenge and gave it a 4. Also, it doesn't really convey the "new" feeling. On the plus side, the DOF on the finger is excellent.

I scored this a 6 in the challenge. Though it met the challenge well, it just seemed not to have any type of wow factor. Maybe too much sand (browns). IMHO, I think a closer crop or a vertical take with more of the ocean showing and less of the sand would have improved this.

That said, the DOF is excellent and you can almost feel the splinters coming off the wood. There does seem to be a color cast of some type (haze), maybe too much green? As far as this particular challenge, it's seems more broken than old to me which is why you probably didn't score higher. Overall I really like the picture.

This is really cute. The only improvement I could offer would be if the dog were also looking at camera.

Very cute. I wish the child had also been looking at the camera though.

This is adorable. The eye color really jumps out and well as the lips. 10
