First of all, I love lizards. Second you captured a really nice shot. One of the few F&V entries with life in it. The red radishes are a good touch of contrasting color. Congratulation on your good score and placement.

I like this shot and gave it an 8. The lighting is beautiful, and I can taste the oranges. The nice black background provides the dramatic contrast.

LOL. That's the way I like my fruit too! Nice lighting. The crop seems a little tight.

Jeannie, this is so attractive. Everything looks so fresh and perfect. The colors are excellent and I like the lighting, composition and DOF. I gave it an 8.

Such a funny face. I think this is great. You created a very attractive classic still life with a hidden joke in it.

Interesting processing. They look like bronze.

Gazing upon our own reflection

I love this, especially the separation of the mushrooms from the background. They pop out of the picture. I like the colors in the reflection and the texture the screen adds. I gave it a 10 and have no problem with mushrooms in a veggie challenge -- I put them in my veggie omelets.

From the thumbnail, I thought it was a pit bull behind a junk yard fence. This is a really cool find, and a well done capture. I'm so glad you have been inspired to grasp the moment.

Nice effect. I tried playing around with "apply image". It made some interesting changes to the image I was working on, but I don't understand it at all. I don't understand which channel should be selected or why. I also played with the different blending modes. I was like a Chimp at a typewriter -- I finally got something I thought was a nice improvement, but again, I don't understand what I was doing. Ho hum, thanks for opening this door in CS2, I just wish I knew where it leads.
