Sweet shot - I don't mind that you cut her legs off. Like the way she's walking through the frame, and looks like she caught you shooting her, too!

Great portrait! I'm sure the subject's family is suitably impressed and hope you gave them a copy for their den. :-) Seriously, this is an awesome shot - great "pose" and composition, and definitely green. And I gotta differ with some commenters - I think the subject is very cute in this capture!

Another great architecture shot - great use of the clouds and the tonality is perfect.

Dang - you need to get a job doing this architecture photography stuff! Love the angle you chose here with the leading line a painted curb of all things. Where are finding clouds?

Maybe it is easy being green.

Composition/subject - I didn't vote in this challenge and truthfully never got a chance to even look through the entries, but I suspected you might have used Kermit... I really like Kermit so I'm down with the subject choice. :-) Good environment in which to stick Kermie. Only nit on the composition is lay of the fishing line - I'd have preferred it straight out to the point where the float is.

Technical - Good exposure, good color, good contrast. All good.

Meets challenge - Yep

My opinion - Nice use of a good prop. As I mentioned, the only thing I don't like is the way the fishing line is angled. (So are 6s getting boring now?) Heh - just noticed that Kermie is in 3 of your top 6!

Composition/subject - I wonder how many people "got" the title. The choice of subject is appropriate for the challenge (though I suspect some probably got tired of this subject while voting). Composition is more interesting than the normal "leaf" shot, though I can see moving the seam between the two leafs further left a bit.

Technical - Depth of field works for me. Lighting is a bit flat, but sufficient for this shot.

Meets challenge - It's green so it's a fair bet this meets the challenge.

My opinion - I think this would make an interesting series.

Composition/subject - I really like these pictures where the subject is camoflauged so I like your subject choice. I'd almost like the shot better with the top cropped a bit more, leaving the eye just below the center line, but that's just me.

Technical - Good use of depth of field, very good exposure and post processing to get such detail and clarity in a monochromatic shot. Only nit is the OOF background seems to command a bit more attention that it should due to the highlights. Not sure if a bit of burning would help (though not permitted for this challenge, of course.)

Meets challenge - Yep.

My opinion - I like it.

Composition/subject - Great choice of subject! Composition is good to get the body on the diagonal and get the wings nicely in the frame without being cramped. The picture would be better without the stick on the right and a bit less clutter in the background but when shooting nature, you take what you get!

Technical - Really very smooth given that it was shot at 1600! Focus is excellent.

Meets challenge - Yep, there's green in it. Like the bits of green in the background, too.

My opinion - A good bug shot, fascinating to look at. Not sure why it didn't score higher, but the sixes outnumbered the fours which is good.

Heh - I love the look! Nice shot, in that you kept detail in both the black and the white which is very tough to do. Really a cute picture!

I like this angle - the building is nicely framed by those around it. Looks a bit strong on the sharpenening at this size, though. Sky is very nice!
