Certified Assistance Dog "Karma"

This is one incredibly good photo. How you ever managed to get that beautiful working dog to pose for you like that is beyond belief. The image is clear, crips and a definite eye grabber. THe collar and the NEADS logo are two other factors which draw your eyes to this beautiful animal.

Since I know what NEADS stands for, I have a good idea who took this picture, but that will not detract me from giving you a well deserved 10 :0) hehehehe. Good luck with the challenge.

The mere fact that you managed to locate a Q warrants bonus points. Good work.

In my opinion, this fails in meeting the "accidental" aspect of the challenge. The lettering is certainly not accidental, and when one considers the actions of the victim in this scene... there is nothing accidental in these either.

These factors, coupled with the morbid scene will not play well with this audience I fear,,, but I could be wrong.

This is a beautiful portrait. Great lighting, composition, DOF and a very handsome looking animal. The best shot I have seen to date and will give this a temporary score of 8 and I will definitely revisit this one.

Good luck to you in the challenge.... and I do hope the other voters appreciate the beauty of this submission and reward you accordingly.

No, no, no.... this part only comes after "When All else fails"..... surely you must know that... Oh wait... you could be a member of the female gender and of course this is the course you would follow.

Great idea and well executed, but I find the lighting a bit off in the top right hand side. Good luck with the contest.

I absolutely love this.... The humour factor alone is worth a few extra points in my books. Great idea. I found the lighting above the mouse a tad harsh, but not enough to warrant any deduction. You should do well with this one. Good luck.

This is an absolutely brilliant take on this challenge. I see you studied your subjects well. The circled comment at the upper right corner clearly indicates that the author is Mr. Allen, and as such should counter any comments you may receive that Bill Gates is left handed. Adding the name "Lakeside" is also very well thought out.

Great idea, composition and lighting. Very well done indeed. My highest scoring photo to date.

Simple, stunning and sublime. This is a very well executed portrayal of this challenge. At first glance, it warrants an 8... and I will revisit this prior to my final tabulation. Very well done indeed.

The answer to 37 down is "Stack", whereas 38 down is Horne and 36 is Lauder. While crosswords do not convey the feeling of boredom to me, I can see where they would in others. Overall a good idea and a nice pic. Good luck
