Caught! Amazingly talented gardener at Idle Awhile hotel in Negril, Jamaica.

I don't see this as 'caught'..?? I guess if I had been there I would see it differently. The picture is not strong enough to relay your message and the title is having to do all the work. I'm sorry if I seem 100% negative on this photo....I'm not. The shot is in focus, it's clean. I just don't feel it's working for the challenge.

Humm, the shallow dof doesn't really add to _this_ shot in my opinion. The subject is the cone yet the it's not in focus. I'm unsure what the grey circle is in the shot?? I will say that I think your lighting is very good.

Winning idea, spot on for the challenge. I think this falls short because of the poor lighting. The pith is white and should look less orange. I understand the dilemma. I think the composition is very nice.

I see what you were doing in this shot and I think your idea is good. It's the composition that is lacking here. The top is dead space and unless you see the mirror you wouldn't know this was a car. You did meet the challenge and the color is good.......also the car is totally cool.

Nice shooting. Challenge met. Good focus, light and colors. The only change would of been the one [right side] blade of grass. I know you didn't plant this, just took the photo. It's a nice shot.

Where is the center of your focus here? To my eye everything appears a little out of focus. The light is so strong it's harsh on the drops of water. Beyond that you have met the challenge and the shot is interesting to look at.

Exposed...? Okay I can kind of see it. Beyond the challenge idea, I like this shot very much. It has a good mood/feeling and colors. The focus is very nice also. I don't like the bottom tilted and the left hand crop.

The lighting is good/bad. A few areas look over sharpened or fried. However the top portion of the pepper where the seeds are look great. Your composition is very good, as is the framing and color. Spot on for the challenge also.

Very good idea for the challenge. I do think the focus should of been a more on the inner workings of the drive. Broader dof, but I do like this and think you met the challenge.

Shocking, sad..but very good for our challenge. I think your idea here was excellent. I might of changed the composition a bit to remove so much of the whiteness at the bottom. Still that is minor and would of tilted the whole shot...You did well.
