Nice study on the petals. The DOF is probably too extreme for the masses but it works IMO.

That's pretty cool. I have a hard time capturing these critters when they are stationary!

An interesting image. I like the clean/polished chrome on those bumpers and the reflections are really good.

Speaking of which, looking at the reflection on the hood it looks like there was some nice photogenic weather that day so I'm wondering if there was an opportunity to include more of that in the shot somehow. I'm thinking perhaps a crazy angle like lying down on the ground and shooting upward so that the chrome and the sky are in the shot. Probably wouldn't work if I actually saw what I am talking about in the viewfinder but it might be something explore at another time. Anyway, I bring that up because the angle you took for this was pretty conservative and with other people submitting similar things you want to really make yours stand out and having a bold angle might have been the trick. Not that I speak from experience since I haven't won anything so take with a grain of salt! :)

Makes you want to be a dentist. :P Proof that this fits the challenge is I'm just now noticing that dog on the couch! I don't think I saw it during the challenge.

Definitely original. If you had better scenery instead of that parking lot I'm guessing this would have placed much higher. Also, this coming from someone that probably wouldn't have had the guts to take that shot. :P What type of plane is it?

Splendid! I can see this winning a ribbon although I'm wondering how much better this would look with the other half of the car in the shot.

Very unique angle.

Very nice. Even the wood has sort of a sheen look to it that matches that of the cat's coat. Also, nice job with the focus. I know how hard it can be to focus on a black cat like that.

Two great factors working here. Originality and a nice close up of the eyes. Also, great composition! With all of the work you did here hopefully you're rewarded for it. Good luck!
