The focus on the droplets is very good! You could crop it down to the top of the white diamond to get rid of the greenish cast in the upper right corner, or you could fix that in editing. Now that the challenge is over, take it back and edit it the way you want!

Just Too Cute

She really is indeed too cute! Made me smile the minute I opened the picture. Love how the perspective you chose makes her feet look so tiny in comparison. Sweet picture - I'm sure her parents love it!

How in the world did you get this shot? The detail on the eye is excellent - I never knew giraffes had such beautiful eyelashes. Thanks for sharing a perspective most don't get to see!

The empty sky is what draws my eye first here, but then it drops me down to the path. Good classic composition within the frame. Seems a bit empty - one would expect a human or two, but in a way it represents a society where despite the housing being so close, the people stay hidden inside. Or it could just be during the work day and no one's home. :-)

LOL! I absolutely love your post-challenge comments. Too funny! Like the curves on this. I even like the green in the background, so don't bother cutting down the trees.

Great job, Ben - congrats on the top ten! I like this one way better than the same thing I attemped in "Flowers" - lovely focus on this.

This was my favorite of the challenge - great shot! Congrats on 4th - I know it's not a ribbon, but it's still pretty darn good if you ask me!

Lovely shot - well seen. And yes, it would have fit nicely in the lines challenge. Very nice sky - nice shading/colors.
