I can't tell exactly what your miniature object is. Is it a small bird? Sheep?

Very imaginative. But, you did not "compose and photograph" the little guy.

Around the Yard in 80 Minutes

Excellent composition! And exposure. And Focus. The colors really pop out of the rich black background. You have a real winner here - most likely headed for ribbonland.

Exceptionally artistic! Perfect composition and superb lighting. The range and value of colors is stunning. If this doesn't win a ribbon, consider yourself robbed.

GREAT B&W closeup! The detail in the fur and the eye is spectacular. Exposure had to be difficult with so much dark area - but you nailed it. Having said all that - your gaudy border is absolutely terrible and should be quickly destroyed.

Nice high-key presentation, good lighting and placement.

One of nature's mort graceful objects for sure. The shell itself is wonderful but the large white area at the top right is really terribly distracting. Your multi-layered border is yucko for me.

Cute. Perfect focus on the figure - but somehow you needed to prevent the terrible OOF yellow blob in the foreground. Good exposure and vibrant colors.

Peppercorn Blend

Wonderful idea. Your image has several things going for it including: Great flat lighting, perfect exposure, nice combination of colors, and nice combination of textures. On the down side, it lacks a bit on the composition. One of the colored peppercorns - probably a green or red should have been positioned at one of the critical "crash p[oints." In addition the green and red ones on the top edge should not have been cut in half - but it is quite ok for the really dark ones. Having said that - it has more good qualities than improvement areas - so nice job!

Old Feather Quill

Exceptional lighting and textures. Black background is perfect. I like the fact that the feather has some small imperfections. Two suggestions for improvement: 1) A more diagonal placement and 2) dump the border.
