I thought this was destined for a good finish :-) Rich and strong, nice to see a metaphorical take in the top 10.

...for nuts!

Comment:
The use of DOF here is outstanding, the muted tonalities of the image are flawless, the "pose" showing only half a face (feels like a sly nod to Librodo's veiled models) is outstanding. In no way does this image shout "shoehorning" to me; I think it's a very straightforward approach tot he topic. Granted, the squirrel may not actually have been searching for nuts, but he sure as heck LOOKS like he is, and that's the goal isn't it?

Good one!

This image is beautiful. I didn't quite feel it responded directly to the challenge topic, but obviously the voters collectively disagreed with me on that :-) Lovely image, great finish.

I really like this one. Beyond the amusing and graphic take on an unusual instance of "searching", the entire gestalt of the image is unusual. There's a sense of a perfectly flat plane that encompasses everything but the BG building (to a certain extent) and the figures of the searchers, who almost appear to be levitating above this plane, and yet perhaps about to sink into it.

A very intriguing image on several levels. Great job!

Yes, actually :-) I am surprised and pleased it made top 10, though; I did not think this image would be much appreciated. It's certainly the best finish, by far, of any of my OOB entries, and I have made quite a few :-)

Thanx, all, for the kind words.

Funny... By definition a "profile" is a side view. Nice shot though :-)
