The photo reminds me of Judi's style although I don't think it snows where she lives. I like it and I think it will do very well: 8

Light from the Shadows

It almost looks like a stuffed toy. It's perfect except the the whiskers which seem jagged. I'm sure a larger sized photo would not show it the same. What's up with the 'Validation'? Seems perfectly legit to me.

An excellent photo that should do very well. I think you could have darkened the heck out of the cage lines and that might have made it even better if possible. Nice work! 9

Well, Flys are gross to me. But your photo is very excellent. I find it kind of pleasantly ironic that the subject of your 'Life' photo survives by living off of decay. Well done!

The photo is excellent and should go over very well for the challenge. I think the only thing that could improve the photo would have been (if possible) to have left more dead space on the left. What do I know? 8

The photo is certainly a 10. But for me, 'People' in natural settings such as this mostly take away from the beauty. I'll go with a 9

Not a box of chocolates

Comment:
If 'Life' is 'not a box of chocolates' then, I should always know what I'll get? Is that it? Anyway, I like the blueish tint rather then totally black and white. The paintings on the wall and off-centered table make up for the centered man (centered subjects always kind of bug me). The quality of the photo is very good and all in all the photo has a very strange emotive feel. I think it will do well: 8
