I like the light on his head and neck, and I like his big googly eye. Very pretty postcard -- I'll buy one. ; )

I'm surprised you still have so much color in the trees. This is a lovely peaceful scene. Beautiful reflection.

Aw, I can just feel her shaking. Love the light and DOF (or gausian blur & vignette). There is just enough information to see what is happening, but the light and focus keep the attention on the dog. Nicely finished.

Beautiful lines and colors. I've never gotten in that close with my orchid shots. I'm going to have a lot of fun following your lead. You are an amazing artist.

Excellent detail and color. I like the "brass" frame. And I like the bright center and dark surrounding background.

These colors are beautiful, and I think the bright border is a nice enhancement. I also really like the lines in this image: the triangular composition. Very strong image!!

Country Home

The house is a nice subject for affluence, although better landscaping would help take it out of the "new development" arena. I think there are two things you could have done to quickly improve this image. First straighten it -- rotate it counter clockwise so that the eaves of the roof are horizontal. And second, adjust the levels and color. Bring out the yellows and reds a bit so it will appear brighter and less muddy. The white halo around along the roof indicates this may have been sharpened a bit too much. If you had taken this at a time of day when the sun was lighting the front of the house, I think the image would have had more impact.

And if you feel like doing any further work on this shot, now that the challenge is over, you might consider taking out the guardrail in the background.
