Woa- that is one large cat! And he has an awful lot of legs :-) And he's caught in a Salvador Dali painting!

Good composition. Lighting on the face may be just a bit harsh.

This truly is an exceptional photo of an exceptional animal. How you managed to keep all those whites without popping any is amazing. I expected this to score even higher. Great photo all around.

Svetlana,
This was one of my favorite entries in the challenge. It has a lovely, carefree Audrey Hepburn feel to it. I actually think the softness enhances rather than detracts from the feel of the image. Well done!

Jeff,
I think you did a great job of executing a difficult shot. To me, it has just the right DOF, lighting, and composition. The title really works as well. Great job!

Ivory Netsuke on Old Lace

Julianne,

I had a hard time voting on this photo during the challenge. I like the composition, the Netsuke is gorgeous, and the old lace is also pretty. I think what troubled me what that I didn't feel they all go together quite right. The lace is perhaps a bit busy and draws eye away from focal point. A closer crop might also be something to consider on this image. I bet this will be a great memory photo for your family - I'm sure it evokes very fond memories!

Raish,
This was underrated in my opinion, as it is extra creative. I think one possible factor that lowered score was the texture on the wall behind toilet paper. Because it is fairly busy, it pulls the eye away from the paper. Again, I commend your OOB thinking and humor :-) You do Team Suck proud!

Deb,
This was one of my faves of challenge. You have some beautiful photo ops over there in Deutchland, and you certainly have the eye to capture them!
I'm surprised this didn't break the 6.0 mark.

Wish the background weren't so busy, but that is one gorgeous damselfly!
