Nice use of shallow DOF to draw the eye to the subject. Otherwise, I'm afraid this really just doesn't grab me in any way. Not really sure what to suggest.

Nicely detailed and great subtle tones.

Nice blue tones on your background and the copper contrasts nicely with it. What are you using for a background?. I have trouble keeping it smooth with basic legal editing.

Neat semi-abstract. It does look a bit like a Dalek, I suppose that accounts for the robot related title you chose.

The b/w treatment really brings out all the great detail in the melon.

If you look st the sky right around the edges of the headlamp and windshield, you can see a grainy pixelation. These are JPEG compression artifacts. The result of the camera throwing out image data for the sake of a smaller file size.

No, but thanks for the compliment! I actually thought this edit, though personally appealing to me, was rather sloppy.

Oops! I did misread your comment! Thanks.

Somehow I thought this was yours. Maybe because of the baseball theme, or maybe I just recognized your son and husband. I don't know how you keep doing all these killer entries.

The special feelings between a young woman and her staircase cannot be denied. Let society call it what it may, this will endure, because it is real.

I had a special staircase once. Her name was Vicky. She was a very sexy and curvaceous spiral staircase.

She ran away with an Olympus owner. I still miss her deeply and I long for the cool, gentle feel of her handrail late at night.

Added: This gets a shoehorn for injecting a little humor into a non-humorous challenge. Collect 'em all! Trade 'em with your friends! Recoil in horror at such a dubious honor!
