Comment by SJCarter:
Nice composition and colors. The DOF and sharpness are not quite as good as they could be. Lighting also a bit harsh. Looks like a beautiful spot. Very unusual entry too - stands out nicely. Overall good job.

I really like this. Is that Jay Leno? Regardless, the lighting is great, the DOF and POV excellent as is the focus. I love the crop - I think it adds to the mood of the image and works well witht he tone. 9 - good luck in the challenge!

feels like the eyes have been boosted whilst the rest has been 'taken back'. Not sure I like the contrast, however I do like the lighting effect

This is a really nice character study...interesting composition and nice use of light and shadow give the image extra impact.

That's a great pose of a great beast. Wonderful composition too. Probably without all the Photoshopping I'd give this a 10. Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of the phillistine masses, of which I am one. The way this poor lionized lion looks, I'd expect to see it on a fuzzy blanket at a flea market. I'm going to find out where you live after the challenge ends, and come & take your silly lionizing filter away from you. Though you don't deserve it after slaughtering this photo, i'm going to give you a 7 anyway, just because I like you. Don't let me catch you lionizing any more lions or I'll report you to the SPCA. That also goes for womanizing any women!

Is this a photograph of a painting? I can't put my finger on what makes this look unreal.
