An excellent representation of the challenge! I like how you pulled this one off. I can't imagine this not being at least in the top 10.

A very-nicely toned, high key shot. Was she a present for someone? That would be a swell gift! :)

Very nicely done... I like the toning here and the simplicity of it all. My only minor gripe is that you can kinda make out her face. That's the only thing that keeps this from being a 10 for me.

Ummmm... ok...? I'm sure there's a connection to the challenge in here somewhere. Perhaps someone inside has a duck with them?

Cool. Smooth. Refreshing.

I highly suspect this will have a ribbon on it at the end of the challenge. Very well executed! This is a very clever shot and certainly deserves to be at the top of the heap this week.

I like the colors on this one, especially. Interesting pose, too!

I have to be honest in saying that I'm not fond of the editing here. The skin tones are unnatural, and the sky and grass aren't usually all that purple. It just seems like these things were toned for the sake of toning them. I have no problem with altering colors if there's a good *reason*, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. It seems like she's hugging her child because nuclear radiation is lighting up her town or something... :/
