I can swear I have seen the inside of this dome in at least a dozen challenge entries. Must be a popular place (At least with one member). It does result in some nice shots though.

A very cute scene but there is some very harsh and inconsistent lighting. At 84k in size, your image also has a fair amount of compression. You probably lost a lot of detail to that JPEG compression. Always use the least amount of compression you can get away with and still sneak in under the file size limit for the challenge.

May I have this dance?

This could be on a greeting card for Valentines day. Excellent lighting and the expressions. Only minor issue for me is the boys face right behind the hands, but this was obviously something that happened and you probably could not have gotten this by posing them. You get what you get with real life and this was a great catch.

I'm not quite sure what the statement is here. Perhaps just illustrating the opposition to convention?

LIFE SUCH AS IT IS

Fits with some of the other real world documentary sort of images you have entered. It's different from the usual drop shots and flowers. I had to give it only a 5 because of the image quality, but I really like your approach to showing the real world. Keep it up.

I gave it a 6. I was apparently of the minority who saw the vintage advertising look you were going for. Don't underrate that compact Lumix. 3 out of my 5 top scoring entries were done with my Powershot S5.

Glad you left some notes. Now I understand why it looks the way it does. It did not strike me as being IR.

Kind of surprised where this came in, but I am seeing that many of my own votes on this challenge were way off from where they ended up. I gave this a 7.

I expected this to place a little higher, but it appears to have come in not too much under your own estimate. I gave it a 9.

One of the most interesting bug shots I've seen recently. It all works together. I like the out of focus landscape, suggesting he is perched up high.
