This is a gem in the midst of some pretty mediocre images. I love the sharpness of the tiger contrasting with the softness of the rain. Beautiful color and clarity. :)

Payday

Your image is rather harshly lit and very bright. I assume you are using the onboard flash of your camera, which rarely gives good results indoors. I know all about having to "make do" with what you have, so some suggestions might be to back up from your subject and allow your zoom to move closer, move the subject away from the background more, and use as much natural light as you can (or available room light if that's what you have to work with.

I'm guessing that the concept of your shot is that the tree is a money tree and is growing $20 bills which are going into the purse for the "payday." Nice idea, but the execution is not clear. Perhaps shooting the same shot vertically, with the money falling from the branches into the open purse, might help illustrate it better.

Good luck and I hope you continue to enter challenges. It takes a lot of practice, patience, and thick skin, but you will learn a lot and have fun in the process. :)

Definitely not your workout routine. ;) Nice shot...it's very small though, which will hurt your score. It's also kind of a vague, shoehorned-into-the-challenge kind of shot as well. good luck. :)

Revenge- The tables have Turned

None of the traps appear to be set... it kind of takes away from the impact of the shot. Nice b/w conversion though...and cute idea nonetheless.

I keep coming back to this shot... it's captivating. I love the orange tones and the silhouette is awesome. I hope it's not skipped over in the voting by absent-minded voters. :)
