In this challenge, I looked for good composition/in-camera framing - in this picture, the OOF leaves in the foreground are a bit overwhelming for my taste, pulling the eye away from the rose.

Risotto con Chorizo

Comment:
In this challenge, I looked for good composition of a good subject. While this has very good color and DOF, the composition is somewhat lacking (ie no "in context") and the subject isn't particularly appealing to me.

Exactly what Judy said. The crispness and clarity of the cat is amazing.

Trading Post comment

First, I apologize, as I missed this when I went through earlier this week to comment - I tend to forget the challenges I didn't enter or vote in. Second, this won't be a totally unbiased comment, since I found out I missed this by reading a comment you made in a forum thread. All that said... I do like this. I'm not generally a fan of abstracts, but I do like a good one now and then, and this is a good one.

With a lot of abstracts, I find myself compelled to figure out what it is - I don't seem to need to do that here. I like it as is, without worrying *what* it is. And contrary to some of your comments, I do like the gold in the corner - adds a spark that lights this up. I'd say this is a very successful experiment!
