Brilliant composition and execution, and the bill for my seizure will be in the mail at the end of the challenge. ;)

ETA: My comment below about cloning out wires only applies to Advanced Editing Rules, so, it looks like the other option would have been to get someone to toss the ball repeatedly up into frame, hoping to catch one at the right height & in the focal plane etc... (very tediously like a water drop shot).

My Original Comment:
Cool idea. I might have used some line to suspend the ball fully in the frame (I just learned from the forums, and to my surprise, that such things are legal and cloning out thin wires/lines is generally considered incidental). You certainly nailed the challenge and in a creative way. Kudos!

Unique interpretation of the challenge. I'm imagining it may have been tricky to expose flames+spray+canister, so I hope you'll share you're experience at the end of the challenge. BTW, is that a person behind the flames?

Nice shot & good luck.

I love this kind of flower. Just my opinion, but the border (esp. color) really detracts from this for me. It's also a bit grainy for my taste. Nice isolation of the upper flowers and I like the overall composition very much.

Pretty cat & nice pose (cooperative cat?). The DOF really draws me easily to the eyes although the background lights distract me somewhat from the cat (although I sort of like the effect overall).

Great lines and contrast using the DOF.

Autumn leaves...

I like the texture and the lines. I wish the focus was on the entire foreground leaf rather than the small center part.

Very nice idea. I wish the flowers were a little more sharp, but I love the POV you chose for this shot.

Ha ha. Cute idea. I like some of the lines here, although I might have centered the cap more in the focal plane as it feels more like the central subject than the pliers to me.

Interesting shot and probably a difficult capture with the high contrasts. The whites along the top background are distracting to me. Nice detail in the post & chain.
