Paper Birds

nice shot, but not quite sure how it meets the challenge (maybe that's just my problem. i try not to be too literal, but somehow a paper bird with no other context doesn't really get me there...sorry). on the other hand, i like the colors and the lighting.

forgive me for being dense, but i'm not sure how this meets the challenge. it appears to be more of a macro shot. as such, it might be a stronger image with more dof.

forgive me for being dense, but i'm not sure how this meets the challenge. it appears to be more of a macro shot that could use a little sharpening. the lighting is also a little strong.

forgive me for being dense, but i'm not sure how this meets the challenge. while it's ok as a macro shot, i tend to lean towards shots with more dof.

forgive me for being dense, but i'm not sure how this meets the challenge. also, it seems a little over-sharpened. nice lines, though.

great shot! really captures the essence of the challenge. i can only find a couple of things to be picky about, and neither are enough to takes points away. i think i would like it better without the blue foreground. while the overall lighting is excellent, i wonder if there is anyway to eliminate the hotspots reflecting off the bowl? (btw, don't they sell miniature coolers at the hobby store?) good luck!

i see something blue, but unfortunately, that's about it. i don't know if you could have gotten closer for a more interesting angle or not, but somehow, this seems to be more of a snapshot opportunity that meets the challenge than a strong entry. when you think you have an opportunity, though, by all means exploit it! try as many angles and settings as you can to see what comes out.

nice effort, but unfortunately, i can only give you points for meeting the spirit of the challenge. this would be more interesting if the subject wasn't so centered, was a little larger, and a little more in focus.

nice effort, but a little too shaky for me to rate highly. maybe with a tripod?
