I was going to say that this was the hairiest frog I have ever seen, but it pales in comparison with reality.

Excellent job of re-animation. Franken-mouse is one of a kind. Congrats on the red!

@ Morgan she didn't hurt the mouse. She gave it one last moment in the sun. Now it's immortal, on this site.

You may get some negatives from people who do not like a Topaz like effect. But I like this one.

I'm sorry but I just do not see this as "Urban Decay". Could well be a trendy part of a nightlife area. Also is a bit noisy for me. I do like the colors and abstract feel. A 4 from me.

Very nicely done, and well deserving of the blue. I love the way the tones of the sky and the structure work together.

Beautiful image, and a shame about a DQ for something like that. As a thought, shoot RAW + JPEG. That way you have the richness of data in the RAW, and the JPEG for validation.

Love the image, but it looks like Neat Image turned the tongue to plastic. Still would give it an 8, if I was voting.

This is an amazingly great imnage. This is just about everything I wish I could accomplish with my photography.

The sharpness, the color, the depth of the tones, not to mention you seemed to have captures a lot of the spirit of this man.

He may have been a bit shy, but his gaze into the lens is firm and sure. Very well lit, and absolutely deserving of the blue.

Congratulations on an outstanding image.

What a great shot, to trip over something so small. Just think, next year when they do "It's all about Position II", you are ready to go. ;-) Oh, wait!!! No entering the same image in more than one challenge.... sigh...

Still a really excellent image, and a shame that a camera date killed it, after all the work. I'd have given you a 10 on this one.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: N/A image is monochrome.

Brightness and contrast: Brightness is well done, as is contrast. Your choices here really made the eyes dominate the image. Excellent!

Focus and depth of field: Focus is very nicely done. Depth of field is excellent. The full depth from the model's arms to the back of her ears are all nice and sharp.

Subjective: Wow! Holly may have another career choice if she so chooses. I think the left arm is fine, it is the right arm that distracts a bit for me. However, I am not sure what to recommend here. The eyes are killer! And more arm means smaller eyes and face, they are where it's at in this image. So perhaps moving that right arm a bit, with a small increase in the width is the answer.

I could easily see this image in a magazine or on a poster in an ad campaign. Very nicely done.
