Parting moments

Nicely done but I think the background items are distracting. Either get them more out of focus or reposition so you don't have those items. A garbage can and a sign don't help convey the feelings one has upon parting. Good idea and I like the way the colors have been handled to make it a partially colored b&w picture.

The lip

What eyes! Lip looks kind of "setup" but I'll take it for real. The lighting emphasizes the lip.

Contempt

Somehow this appears to me to be more like "suspicion" than contempt. However, it is well lit and a nice shot.

Nice abstraction. Appears a little grainy in some areas and it would have been better to omit the "non-green" area on the right. Still, very nice image.

The best o' the lot! Makes me want to squeeze some lime juice into a drink. Nice job.

Well done. The background might be better but it's only slightly distracting. Obviously meets the challenge!

Vertical climb

Comment:
Saw the posts about whether this was taken looking down or level or whatever. I had already scored it and didn't question what direction it was taken in. You had already gotten a 10 from me because it's an exceptional image with good DOF and good composition. Interesting little critter, too! Has the "WOW" factor that people sometimes talk about.

Round and Round

This could have been a "six" in the numbers challenge. Instead, you've got a beautifully composed image. I really like the way you've positioned the curve of the stairs. You might have considered some additional light further down in the stairwell but lacking that doesn't detract from this photo.

Nice shot! Well framed, uses a leading line, obviously a very happy and cute little girl.
