Very cute pup! Nicely composed and presented.

Bring your PJ's to Kenya this Summer

Returning for comment: This is just a superb shot in all respects. One minor issue is the noise in the sky. But it's otherwise wonderfully composed and presented. I hope you don't get dinged by others for the border, which would not be found on a billboard. And a title like "See the Wildlife at..." might have worked better with voters, allowing interpretations as a billboard for a zoo, for example. Anyway, I'm just rambling, and I really just wanted to tell you how much I liked this! Bumping way up!

Return for comment: Great water texture, beautiful color and light. I am not sure I like athe tilt in the water bottle, but overall, it's very effective. Bumping up.

Returning for Comment: Superb shot and composition, but to me the burnout is a distraction. Perhaps if the sun was in the picture, for example, to offer a sunrise/sunset, it might just be emphasis, but being that it's just glare in the water, it doesn't work for me. In fact, the snow is lovely, but I could really see this being a winner if it were a winter beach sunrise! Or maybe putting someone out in the snow on a blanket, as that other picture did, might have been funny enough to make me ignore the burnout. Still better than avg shot = 6.

Great artistic take on the challenge. Beautiful image, even outside of a challenge. Nice work.

Lazy Day Fishing

Brilliant idea--reminds me of the movies where animation and real life meet. The face is a bit hidden but the style is definitely Scalvert. Congratulations on your ribbon ;) Love the hat too. Did I miss the buy the logo hat opportunity?

One constructive comment--the photograph is execptionally well laid out, but I do think it loses a bit of impact with the centric nature of your placement. Perhaps the fish could have been on your left and that way you could be a bit more out of the horz center extending the grass a bit. I do like the way the diagonal is used though. If I imagine the fish to your left and then cover the left with my hand, it's much stronger with both you and the bobber on the diagonal. Just my two cents.

Would have been perfect for passing time.

Waiting II

Similar to the other one, I like it overall and would like to suggest trying something: grab part of this image, a composition of the far bench and the tree to the left of it, and maybe some of the surroundings that looks good when you crop. I think the look there is magical and would be interested to see how that crop comes out!

I like the look here overall--the colors really stand out. What seems really interesting here is the bench that's further away. That really looks painted, as you say. This one works very well for me! Nice work.
