This is more OOF than blur. ??? ETA - may need to clarify something ... I haven't voted yet, and this is just a first impression. :-}

Very nice. I think I would have stretched the range though ... seems like you pulled back on the contrast a little.

I like this, just wish the tree wasn't so centered in the composition.

This was one of my top votes as I felt it portrayed a "Feast" quite well. Congrats on Top 5 HM.

Thanks Jim. No, not blocking the handle. I used a hatchet instead. Similar head size, but shorter handle. :-)

I love, love, LOVE this shot. Gave it a 9 and considered a 10, the one thing I really wish you'd done is used a healing brush on the one oblong (OOF bird I'm guessing) blur on the right (about 1/3 of the way up). The exposure on the sun and it's delicate placement within the clouds is just totally awesome!

What?! No comments? No Top 10 placement?! Extended Free Studies are tough to figure out sometimes. This was a top pick for me (gave you a 9). I liked the dark feel and the selective focus on the glasses. I'd wager that if you'd been able to get the glasses AND the area around his nose in focus this would have made Top 5 for the general voting population. Anyway ... I liked it. Well done.
