Hey Deb - I gave this an 8 during the challenge. I thought it was good use of DOF - even tho - based on some comments I got, I must not totally understand SHALLOW DOF. Oh well lol. Good lighting. Good job!

How did you find this in your icy tundra? lol That is great that you can look at something like this and see an orchestrated dance. I don't have quite the eye for that. Nice pic!

I meant to comment on this earlier - I liked this pic and voted on it during the challenge. I like how he is parallel with the shadow. Really nice use of Black and White!

Hi Deb - nice idea! One suggestion for you to try if you want to keep this pic for your own use... I'd crop off some of the bottom, to cut out some of the grass and maybe even the path. And then play with contrast - you need to bring out some brightness in the pic to play against the darker color of the trees. Try it and I think you'll be surprised at how different the pic looks. Keep 'em coming!
