Great perspective - I seem to have an affinity for in-your-face cow shots. :) On my monitor, the whiskers look like you are getting close to that fine line between sharpened and oversharpened. Great job though, one of my favorites for the challenge.

This has a nice effect too, in contrast to your other one from this day - more abstract than the other, but effectively so - the different shades of green form a dynamic patterning.

This is cool - just enough zoom effect to make it look fantastical, while still clearly identifiable for what it actually is. I like how you framed this, where the branches themselves are oriented in a somewhat circular pattern around one another, with all that zoom shooting out from the central set of leaves.

Good look and feel to this, with the processing, but the composition doesn't engage me very well - jumbled, busy compositions aren't bad things necessarily, but this one just doesn't "hook" me.

Intriguing abstract and use of texture.

Wow - really great, spare but powerful shot - now I'll be seeing this in my mind's eye every time I hear the song.

The selective sharpening (or selective blur, can't quite tell which) has left some very distracting sharpness in the patterned backdrop around his head. I believe if you perform your selection with the image zoomed at 100% or greater you might be able to get a more accurate edge with your selection. This is a nice idea though, for portrait presentation, and is still a cut above average.

This is very striking and colorful, but could be improved if the very center was more in focus - possibly your point of focus could have been pulled forward a bit and f stop increased 1 stop to bring more of that center in focus without losing focus elsewhere.

And he looks pretty glum about it, too! Funny shot.

Fantastic play on the challenge title - the DNMC brigade will hunt you down, but I am not one of them. Great. :)
