There's something quite surreal about this shot that I enjoy - the pin-sharp background and OOF subject; honestly - how difficult is that to achieve given the auto-focus mechanisms in most dSLRs? It almost looks like bear was a cut/paste onto that background.

Anyway, this was the only shot in this challenge that stuck in my head - I was looking forward to seeing if you'd achieved another brown ribbon. :)

I think you were stung on your subject matter (and possibly title) as opposed to any technical issue.

Flags, religious symbolism and guns generally don't score well at DPC as they are controversial.

Anyway, you're over in Iraq so there must be loads of interesting things to photograph locally that voters back home wouldn't usually see! :)

Actually, I count 5 flies. From left to right; 1, none, 2, 2, none.

Can anyone do better?

A water drop in the middle, and it would be complete.

Love the colours and the lines.

Sorry, I can't see the enthusiasm here. Unless you're enthused, personally, of course!

I'm not sure what that silver object is - tin foil? On the outside of a cannister? Sorry, I don't get it.

Why just the other morning I woke up, took 47 steps out my back door and dived into the Atlantic for a refreshing dip.

Coastal erosion must be a concern...
