Beautiful tender ape portrait. Not my favourite of the challenge, but I guarentee it will fill that role for many. You can't help but fall for those eyes. It doesn't get any cuter.

Who needs a man?

Yes this image is sexy, incredibly so (I'll be surprised if you don't get a couple of DQ requests for the overt depiction of a sexual act from the more conservative dpcers), but its appeal goes beyond the fact that I'm a guy and it's a naked picture of a gorgeous woman. Technically speaking, the perspective is wonderful, lighting is spot on, and DOF is absolutely perfect. On the more substantive level you have captured the joy of human sexuality wonderfully. At first glance she appears positively serene in her bliss - yet then you go and throw in the leather gear, which takes the viewer away from the beauty of the pleasure she is experiencing and throws in a raw, forbidden almost animalistic element. Anyway, enough meandering from me, the point is that this is a ten from me, and easily one of the best images in this challenge.

I really like the pose here. It's bizarre enough to be effective. 8

Really like the colouring here, many will feel this is overprocessed, and perhaps it is, but I like the overall impression of this shot. 9 On second look I still really like this. I'd just like to add that this would make you all sorts of money as a stock image!

Like the lighting here. I had a female in the room when I voted and she was quite enthralled by this. I can see why, if I batted for the other team I'm pretty sure I'd be quite taken aback by this one.

Love the contrast between the gorgeous colours on this fella and the backdrop. Perhaps the motion could be stopped a fraction better, but I like it a lot nonetheless. 8.

Niagara at Night

I've seen a lot of niagra falls shots, several of them even in this very challenge. Well, this is the best of the ones I've seen in this challenge, and one of the best I've seen full stop. Good job.

Glowing

I have no idea what that is, a capsicum (pepper) perhaps ??????? Ahhh, thanks to my new monitor I can see that this is a flower of some description - the comment below still stands - good work.

Whatever the case you've used the painting with light technique to great effect. 9.

Barley

Who knew barley could look so perfect. Evidently you did. And that earns you a nine in my book.
