I missed this in voting. You did a nice job of portraying a period of time that I grew up in. The very wide angle lens setting makes for an interesting composition/perspective, bringing your face to the front of the interest in the image.
The classical guitar seems a little out of place for a Zep thing. It's a good prop for the challenge anyway, as most people would not know the difference.

This is a nice scene. I can't believe that it just snows there at any time during the year. The snow on the green plants is pretty in this shot.

The grain in the maple in the Gibson adds a lot to this shot. Excellent concept, and a fine image resulted. I have no problem with the warm lighting. It seems to sort of fit the mood with the sunbrust guitar top and the flames.

This is beautiful. I like the colors of the surf and sky in this shot a lot. The foreground elements are combined into a pleasing composition as well.

This is an impressive play of light, shade, and 3D geometry. What a great image!

That is a lot of crop, and it still looks good. At the size we view it here at DPC, it is actually much better than the full sized version.
Good shot, and it was helped by the light being right for good shutter speed. The only suggestion that I would see would be to rub out the little blur of branch behind the mocking bird. It looks a lot like sensor dust the way the crop removed all but a little of it.

The negative treatment does a nice job of bringing out the open mouth and eyes. It also makes the fur look different which is good too. I like the punny title too. It just isn't what's in vogue at DPC at the moment, by the comments and votes. That's ok. I still like it.
I think that it may be because it reminds me of many hours at the enlarger looking at negative images on the easel and thinking about what to dodge and what to burn.

Love the little grin with mustache and whiskers in this. That's pretty sharp shooting to get the compound eye to look as it does too. These little critters make great subjects.

Wow, by the comments, this is a "like it- don't like it" kind of image, no middle ground. I'm in the like it pile. Just a little more head on would have helped a lot with getting a better score I would think, but with animals we get only what they, the animals, will offer us.
