I love your focus and desat of the background. Very well done. I really feel that the background is too busy, though. I think it's one of those shots that you really love it or....
I would love to see the beautiful rose all by its lonesome. :D

Reflecting Pool

I love this. Brings back good memories of fishing off the dock at my grandparents' place. I think black and white is a great choice for this as so many tones are represented. I really don't like the huge black border. It overpowers the photo, imo. It didn't stop three people from choosing it as their favorites, though. A really great find and well captured!

Great focus and dof. What I really like is that you can see under the water, also. Great capture.

This is an amazing capture. Are they tame? "Wow", if they are in the wild. "Great" if they are in a petting zoo. I love the way they are all looking in the same direction. It's like you're on the "Funny Farm" set and Chevy Chase says, "Cue the deer".

This is a riot. Great capture! lol
(I hate to say this, but it reminds my of my older brother. I can't go anywhere with him without him doing something humorously embarrassing.}

Alcatraz - One Way In, One Way out

Comment by Montereykiddo:
Very creative! Wisht he sign was a little brighter (perhaps a flash) and a little more in focus (afterall the sign is your subject not the island). Nice job though overall.

The horizon looks a little tilted to me. Great subject and I like the composition.
Just lacking a little contrast but a fine picture.

Nice shot and I like the B&W look but its not level. The island should be level don't you think? I also would have liked to see the "ONE WAY" sign more in focus. I realy like the detail in the island and find it to have excellent sharpness and contrast for such a gloomy sky. Good luck in the challenge. <6>
