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!

This picture has a timeless quality about it, Brad. Very nice capture. And at full crop, says a lot about the quality of the XT - quite nice! You're having a great time with these candids, aren't you? It shows!
