like the desat if thats what you used. If not - excellent set up to make the flowers pop. I'm back and forth on the focus here - without seeing it sharp I can't tell you which I would prefer. Maybe just a tad more in focus on the center of the center flower. Like the composition and the use of 3. Like the textured fabric used. Lighting well done.

interesting entry. Good focus and DOF. Background a little distracting. But on the whole good image.

I like where you were going with this and I like the composition but the depth of field really hurts you here. The first dandelion is in excellent focus - I wish the 4th one were also. The black background plays nicely with the yellow and really pops. Would like to see a rework with better focus.

Nice colors! To be honest, I like my food a little more appetizing. While the concept and composition and lighting are interesting, I'm turned off by the lack of clarity in the image. The froot loops look kind of flat.

really like the duotone here - busy image but tempered with the colors. Detail and tonal range amazing. Excellent capture! Bumping to 9

I went back and forth with the color of the umbrella. I decided you were right - that shade of blue works best. And I think the sand color blanket is also an excellent choice. the range of blues is very peaceful and relaxing - perfect for a dreams shot. Love the way he is holding his shoes - very telling and almost conflicts with the rest of the image. I really enjoyed viewing this - thanks for sharing! 8 from me - good luck!

Really cool. Love the conversion done. So much more powerful in B&W. Love the tonal shifts - you made excellent use of the range. The subject is almost too far out of the image, but not quite. Do like him/her at the edge though. And going out of the frame works for me. 9 for your excellent use of black. Good luck in the challenge!

Looks oversharpened. The expression on his face is great! Came back for a second look. Still love the expression on his face. Change my thought on the oversharpened. He's just going grey. Definitely the expression gets it - 8 from me - good luck in the challenge!
