It's amazing how some pictures that obviously show spinning (which if I recall is the theme of the challenge) did not score as well as they should. No surprise here of course. Love the composition and you just about have that perfect circle in the middle. Nice job! Should have scored higher.

Hmmm people are looking for a wow factor. I bet if this piece were on a beach or in the mountains or had a comet in the background you REALLY woulda had someone's attention. So from here on out, you must strive to take your pictures in geographically exciting locations. Heh!

I did not vote in this challenge so I cannot tell you what my reaction to it then would have been. I think the lighting is awesome, the border is a perfect compliment, and it is STILL. Good compostition too. Nice job in my book!

Deb's taking pictures with her new camera! Whoo! Great idea Deb. AFter a few challenges you will see that people have a tendency to not really stop and look at the WHOLE photo. Hopefully some will comeback and realize that your picture has MORE in it than STIL lol. Did you use a tripod (good idea) or was this hand held? I think once you master the sharpness on the focus thing you will be soaring up past the 6+ range. Nice job!
