Lost in the woods ages ago

This shot is very appealing - because it implies a story. It is easy to imagine the events that led to the "lost" bear. From a photographic point of view I like the tones of the bench and bear. Detail is well-recorded in both. And since they are the primary subject that is important. When I look around, though, it seems to me that the plants have been over sharpened in post-processing (at least on my monitor). A somewhat softer background might work even better. IMHO.

First of all, it's not fair to use such a cute model. She steals the scene. My first 'photographic' thoughts are that her skin tones are wonderful and her hair color is highlighted well. However, her eyes are not as striking as her skin and hair. Maybe it's the clothes she is wearing or the color of the background. Her eyes are certainly pretty. I think another color for clothes or background might bring out the color of her eyes. Over all, the focus is good and the picture has a wonderful soft tone that complements your model.

Normally I don't care for smaller pictures. This subject, however, makes this one an exception. Nice photo and even better awareness to even notice the design.

I think this photo deserves higher ratings than I think most people will give it. Good use of color and clarity.

This photo has a nice soft feel to it. One of my favorite photos of the challenge. Every time I look at this photo I keep bumping up the score. The interplay of light and petals is so subtle. Great texture throughout. 9

Like the photo and the title. Well executed. One of my favorite photos of the challenge. It's amazing how you have personified two stems as if they were dancing. What a good eye you have. 10
