Sorry, I find this offensive. The image is well shot, so to be fair, I will not vote on it.

The year of the pig

One point off for not putting the year in the title. There is a year of the pig every 12 years. Cute pig though.

CodeName- Smiling Buddha

Comment:
DNMC - no year in the title, and I don't associate this with any particular year. (perhaps I'm showing my ignorance). From an artistic standpoint, I think this image would be better if you had put a back drop behind the Buddha to hide the distracting background.

I love the effect. Good depiction (even if it is a bottle of vitamins).

Like the image and the idea. One point off because you didn't put the year in the title.

Terrific!! This is my year too, and I am particularly impressed with your creativity. I couldn't think of anything I was happy with so I went for Perspective. Not just for the year, but for the image and creativity - 10.

Wow! This is soooo... much better. I'll give you a 10 on this one. I like those hills in the foreground that were blocked by the border in the old version.

Greetings from Conisbrough Castle

I think this shot was under rated. I was one of the 6's. I agree about the over sharpening. Maybe you should try 'smart sharpen' if you are using CS2. That seems to create fewer, or less severe halos than USM. I like the concept of the transparent border, but on the bottom, it may be detracting from the feeling of distance to the castle. Maybe it would work better if it were the same width as the sides and top, or you might have to eliminate it all together. (You'd have to change the color of the text then.) I like your choice of font and the trees framing the shot.
