I'm glad to see this one did well. It was one of the ones I thought was done well in the challenge. I loved the focus on the prickly parts and thought that the maroon background was a beautiful complementary color.

I really liked this one. I could see my kids doing something like this. I thought it was funny that the smallest one was on the tallest stack. Cute photo!

Posthumous ribbon hog.... hehehe :D How many do you have now? I typically prefer more light on bird shots but your title leads me in a different direction - and I think the processing is perfect for it.

Josh this is adorable! I love taking photos of them because they really are good models. But I've never taken anything like this :) Love the processing for this too.

This is very pretty. I love the splatter of color. It's almost as if you caught the ones in red at the bottom doing a dance.

I thought this was great. You did a good job of capturing a total "kid moment". All the bright colors in this shout "spring is coming!"

hey - you entered a challenge - congrats! I'm not a big fan of the angle either but it does force one to look around the photo. I think without the title, one may not really notice the mother and child - mostly because they blend in with the wall. I'm thinking the contrast does not help them stand out either. Why not a tighter crop to bring us in closer to what they are doing? :) Look forward to seeing more pics!

Get your glasses checked, ump!! He was out by a mile!
