Cute, but I prefer your submission choice. Those who don't find cats' noses worthy of focus, be dammed! :-)

What a beautiful way to capture an otherwise average subject! Colors and technicals are goog, but I would have liked to see the left cripped more. Nice photo! I give a 6.

Purple, complemented
by Melethia

Comment by supernaught:
Fits the theme well, average subjects though. Great colors, but if all the flowers had been purple, this would have popped more. Focal is good, but overall an average shot. A 5.

I can really see the bird continuing it's journey just by looking at this. But bland colors and an average subject keep this a 5.

Cyclamen Leaves
by Melethia

Comment by supernaught:
Hm. A bit over exposed, and unbalanced light on the leaf patterns hurts here. Fix those, and this is a fine entry into the challenge, but technicals send this below average to a 4 for me.

Classical with a twist
by Melethia

Comment by supernaught:
What a nice B&W exposure! I can almost hear the accordion, and the technicals are spot on, save a little over exposure in some portions. The striking textures and detail on the accordion boost this up 2 points from mediocrity to a 7. I like looking at this capture!

Orbital neon

Comment by supernaught:
A visually striking "arthouse" picture, but oversaturated to the point of noise in the gradient reds. I really like the embellished intensity of the light - but an otherwise average shot. I'd give this a 5.

The Bread Guy
by Melethia

Comment by supernaught:
I'm only seeing "supermarket guy" here, and the bread seems like an afterthought, though it fits the theme well enough. The colors seem a t-i-n-y bit over saturated, as the hues in his face are a bit overdone. I wouldn't call this a candid, since he's way to happy to pose here. I'd give this a 5.

Outbound
by Melethia

Comment by supernaught:
Nice depiction of a lazy subway station. Fits the theme very well, but way too dark, unless you were going for silouhettes? Alas, I can't apply that to my score If you were, because this is just too dark, and too bright in the background to the point that my eyes hurt looking at it! lol. More balancing would have made this a fine black and white photo. I'd give this a 5.

Tea for One
by Melethia

Comment by supernaught:
An ordinary capture, with some technicals that are distracting - such as the noisy building in the background. Could have popped more if it were darker, and a bit sharper. Some over exposure on the teacup distracts me somewhat. Fits the challenge theme in mediocre fashion, but doesn't say "Led Zepplin" to me. I'd give this a 5.
