Love the detail. The composition works extremely well with the limited DOF. Nice choice for the challenge.

Wonderful detail and composition. The little touches really propel this shot (flower, green grass).You always take amazing wildlife photos, and this one is no exception. Big congrats.

It is a busy photo, but given that there is a ton of interest in the shot. I think there are too many open/empty shots these days, I think it is nice to see something fill the frame especially candids. I like it.

Nice pose. Very dramactic lighting, but it fits the pose nicely. Congrats on the wonderful score.

Lovely complimentry colors. The row of trees in the horizon really draws interest into the background. I like your "i don't care if it's too boring for dpc", comment gave me a chuckle. Curious if it were possible to pull out some of those purple clouds in post, though it probably would have conflicted too much with the simple compostion.

I love the intent, great idea. I think the static background doesn't work for this subject (too much black for me). Maybe a different angle would have worked better (done the length of the arm...). Still I thought it was innovative and the post skills are way above my own. I voted you a 6 in the challenge.

Freaky shot. This is a perfect promotional piece for either a movie/book. I mean that in a good way. Love what you did in processing.

I didn't realize what the shot was till I read the camera part. I am one of those lazy voters, if I get the quote great, but I am too lazy to look it up. 1984 was a great book though. I like the post processing and the perspective is cool. I think I just didn't get the sci-fi connection when I voted (I do now). I gave you a 5 during the challenge. I like your thinking.
