Fireman facing the "beast"

In another challenge this would score highly for the study, composition and evocation. Being picky though, this is not definitively City Life, since the firefighter could be anywhere - but I like this shot muchly.

Well there we are - Happy New Year!

Justice is served and another DPC conundrum is now resolved.

For what it's worth: perfect composition, lighting, subject and tangible sense of the title. Love it. I'm beginning to regret my vote of '1'.

Great choice of subject. Day Geckos are wonderful and deserve your attention - which you have done excellently other than a touch too much space to the right and top. More body would make this perfect.

Clear, crisp and delightful.

Very fresh scene - great movement and choice of focus. Nature delivers the wonders as usual - you are but a player briefly on-screen. You are though a quality extra in the stop-motion adaptation.

Magical close-up. Really great detail and light. No more needed - this is just gratifying to behold.

Good shot of a much derided commonplace subject. Not much else to say really - other than it's not exactly art but it fits the the challenge!

Such a small creature too - nice observation. Love the exposure and off-screen mystery. Horizon looks tilted but without doubt a nice shot. Improvements I would imagine could be:
> focus slightly further away to give both fore- and background blurring
> straighten horizon
> focus even closer (losing some sky) to show scale more dramatically

Fragility

Well, this is an adorable subect and actually a perfectly good photo technically too. Good lighting and colour range - and that little 'fuzz junction' (bit between the nose and mouth) needs lots of rubbing with the tip of a finger!
