why did I ever come to this country?

Pretty decent score for a non-dpc photo. I love the mess here - the downed cone, the graffiti, the belly-scratching - I'd be wearing those expressions there too! (In fact, I think I did when I lived in the east village!) It's not in your face sympathetic like a dirty child, it's very documentary - there is no fantasy. No cropping of a depressing existence. No pretty dirt. Damn well done.

These be some cute doggies! Are those their names ? ;-) I like the fill-the-frame feeling here. I hope you do more portraits of these guys/gals - particularly with that rug/color as backdrop, and similar lighting and dof. Possibly from a doggie-height perspective. I'm gonna go look for more photos of them now!

I'm so glad that this didn't get totally clobbered for being original. Such a futuristic-looking scene. You really eke a lot of mood out of a little coloration.

Loved this - 10 from me. Outstanding detail - and a terrific choice of subject. Title too. I love what chalice said below - it's right on!

Hey this is some kind of splendid! Can't believe it only scored in the 5's! Excellent control of lighting - you really made this glow!

Love the bug on a grid thing! Posthumous and I have been playing with that theme too. Hey maybe this is a candidate for selective saturation of the hopper. I like your crop. Nice sharpness!

Gentle and beautiful. Love those shades of blue. It takes a strong woman to enter a subtle image ;-)

Excellent sense of whimsy ;-) I enjoyed this one.

I also like the pose, much more interesting than dead on and dull. To me, he looks like he just caught a whiff of something (though certainly it could be a noise). He looks very regal and judgemental. I expect a snappy British retort from him any time now. Technically, I am wondering about decreasing the saturation. I think the warm tones make it look less focussed than it is. Also, I am finding that the trees/poles in the background compete - I might experiment with making them less saturated too. Overall, nice kitty!
