Only a 4 leaf would make this better. Lovely bokeh.

The atmosphere in this image is just lovely. The whole of the image connects well with the title. It seems like a starting point for a movie like "Perfect Storm" .

The low key approach gives this image a very retro feel. It's hard to describe exactly why.

Free Bird

Cool pan shot. I also like how the birds feathers echo the linear smearing in the background.

Sandwiching the face between the curls and the blur draws me right to the subject in this image. It has a strong feeling of tenderness in the girl.

Nice little party. I like the colors in the leaves in this.

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is

The blur almost makes it look like someone watering a garden early in the day. The reflection is a giveaway that it is a car though. Tricky shot.

Excellent observation. I wonder if any of us will ever be seeing clearly again thru the viewfinder.
I am guessing that the human is a reflection in a broken window. Very classy observation and waiting for the right moment.

My kind of place. Sweet shot which gets right to the heart of the feeling of wild meadow freedom.

A Spicy Portrait

I feel that more depth of field by using a smaller aperture would have made a difference. The DPC voters seem to like everything being sharp. Another improvment would have been to do something with the lower right corner, where there is something, which I assume is a shoulder strap, that distracts from the primary subject, the lips. A piece of light or dark cloth on the shoulder and up to the side of the face would have eliminated that area, or maybe a little closer in with the camera.
A little makeup (lipstick) for a dash of color and a title to draw attention to the lips, and hint of action, like "Spicy Kiss" may have helped a little too.
I am not exactly sure what you did to get the image, I am guessing that it is your face in a bowl?
It is a great concept shot which just needed for the original to lead to a carefully planned reshoot.
That is the worst that I can do with it. I hope that you are not offended.
Don't take all this too seriously, as I seem to not know what I am doing according to the below 5's on my two current challenge images. : )
