Terrific photo of dog's at play. I love the details in the image, the expression of both dogs and the wonderful colors. A superb image. Highly rated.

Terrific idea! A great capture. This one stands out from the rest... I've never seen a nude like this. I think the only things that hurt you on this one was the "pixelated" nude portion and the lighting did not seem to match the subject and the glass. Well, at least that is the only reason I can see why it would not have been in the six range. Still outstanding work.

Here is what I like about this one, great exposure, great shadows, nice lines. I love the star field and the slight glowing light (sun/city?) in the distance. I think I have seen your shots before, and what gets me is the sharpness, I just think it is too sharp for this resolution. Either that or you are really hitting the defraction limits. It just makes it seem like a 1 megapixel image to me. But beyond that it is a great photo and enjoyable work!

Terrific portrait. Love the pose and the colors. Very nice even lighting and the sharpness is terrific. One of my highest rated in the challenge.

One of my highest rated in the challenge. I really like the mimicry going on here. The light subdued background color with the pop of red really works. The only complaint is maybe the front bird is a little too sharp around the edges, since the bird seems to kind of pop unnatural from the background. Great photo overall and highly rated.

Deep Red

While the idea is interesting, I am not sure about the selective coloring. Why choose the three you did? They don't seem to be special. Actually my eye is really drawn to the one right next to the middle red one with the crack. Maybe because the crack and sharpness reaches it's peak there. I think if that wone were red it might have worked better? Still interesting concept.

A stunning photo with great colors, great foreground sharpness and wondeful depth. Maybe just a bit more depth in the forground? A truly special photo. Highly rathed.

Tied as one of my favorite images in the challenge. I really love the lighting and differnent depths goinn on here. A very dramatized picture. The only thing keeping it back from a perfect score it the hard transition of the bird, it looks oversharpened for this resolution. Still a wonderful photo and highly rated.

Crazy photo. More guts than I would ever have! Terrific idea and worthy of such a high placement. Great exposure and expression. Differnt than most "nudes" or "portraits" you see. Terrific picture.
