Poor little guy. it does sort of seem dreamy, in a nightmare kind of way. Cool processing....well seen.

Hey you!

Congrats on your first challenge! I know these first two are a bit of a rough start, but we can talk about it when I see you this week. :)

On this one I will say that a) folks here hate "noise/grain" and b) folks here generally hate things that are not pretty.

Personally I like the humour in the shot, but would have worked on getting rid of some of the noise in it, and made it a bit more contrasty. I will show you how to do all that this week. :)

great perspective on a fountain pen. :) nicely executed, great exposure and focus, the drop of water with....a lion in it? ok. with the lion it gets a 10 and a fav. I hope others see it too. good luck.

Just when I thought it was safe to look at the monitor...

great work, but it will likely get voted down for the gross factor. I love the colours and the guts it took to get close and take this! 8
