Shez, I love this - totally underrated. Looks just like a box of petit fours candy. I just can't believe this one didn't break 6.

Whiskers

Wow, I think you got a little robbed scorewise on this one, Julianne! I suspect you got hurt due to some grain in the photo. I've discovered that using a soft paintbrush at about 25% opacity to paint over grainy areas really does the trick - for example in the tiger's mouth, on his teeth, in his eyes, and on his nose. It gives a sleek, silky looks without looking fake. I also think you may have cropped just a little bit tightly on this one - I wish there was some negative space around his whiskers.

When I Was A Boy...

Not sure this fits "speed" but it is an excellent photo in its own right. There's a lot of emotive, despite being unable to view the boy's face. The processing is also very well done.

Colleen, I didn't get to this photo while voting, but I think you got robbed. There's a great sense of motion and speed here, and the colors are most interesting. You would have had a 7 or 8 from me. Sorry I missed it!

You have a beautiful line here in the rooftops leading down. Looks almost like stairs. Would love to see this processed further to bring out the contrast between the roofs and sky.

Ah Jeffrey, so close to that 6! I think you did a great job of processing this. Were it advanced, and you could have cloned out the head, you would have scored much higher.

Oh No!!!

I really like this one - I think you got robbed. I was one of your 7's. I like the color range a lot.

Deb - this ended up doing quite well - and I'm not surprised. An excellent piece of photojournalism.

A striking and nostalgic image, Jason! A touch of dodging in the road might bring this beauty out even more. Great work!

Are you sure you want to be advertising that whopping three inches? LOL.
