I would have tried different angles on the bottles to make it more visually interesting, but still, you get a laugh out of me.

Like the colours, like the beer (although I prefer Canadian or Rickard\'s Red). One nitpicky comment, I think a bit or extra space between \"O\" and \"Canada!\" would be better. Also, the pictures need to be aligned a bit more carefully.

Oh Canada?! with labatt blue and molson export?!?! Where's the MOLSON CANADIAN?! If you were to print this out I"d suggest making the white boxes even (it's just a small nitpick) and your Moosehead bottle looks like it's tilted. Great idea.. I was just thinking to myself.. we sure dont see much beer on DPC...

COMPOSITION
I really like the diagonal lines, and the different angles the lines have in this shot. The eyes have something to follow. Normally, I think shots like this are too busy, but this one actually has a reason for being so, and I think that makes it particularly effective.

TECHNIQUE
The focus works here, I think, though it may have been interesting to see what effect a deeper depth of field would do. The colors are wonderful, and I like how the skittle is just hanging out! Like I pointed out previously, the lighting does seem a little harsh to me, but at least it is uniform across the candy. Also, I am not sure what you can do to prevent that, other than using a diffuser or bouncing light off of something.

OVERALL EFFECT
This shot is very interesting, and met the challenge in a creative way. Good work, and best to you in future challenges.

Need more contrast in the sky to really capture the full effect of this majestic bird, especially with the head being so white. Great capture though.

Great shot of a great bird but lose points for animal in captivity! I love to see these in the wild, around here I only see one or two a year but out east there are lots.

nicely done, although the rail in the background distracts and i wish there could have been more contrast between the head and the background. good focus and detail, however.
