ok, for all those that couldn't figure out what it is.... it's a small turtle statue..... as for the hot and dead pixels, I'm assuming you mean the light specks in the lower right corner... that's the surface I placed the turtle on. it was a bit reflective, and I had thought I had fixed it, but not all of it I see. Thanks for all the constructive comments everyone!

I think its awesome that you are thinking out of the box, out of the ordinary and right on target with what the topic of the challenge was.. Its to bad this one had not scored higher because its really good.. For you to make the blinds going in the diagonal direction is superb as well. Its got a nice soft feeling but yet its sharpened right.. A good contrast too.. Well done for the frist challenge... Keep at it I'd like to see you and Sara win a ribbon... Well I would like to too but I have a lot of improving to do or to find a subject, shoot it well and hopefully the dpcers here will like it.. I think the majority of how you win here is if it appeals to the voters... dont let that discourage you though there are some that have a mind... Peace!

Great lighting. The specks on the ground are a little distracting

I can't tell what this is enough to actually perceive a mood. It looks like a marzipan or clay creature with a silly look on its face. I think the problem is you've chosen a subject that's far out enough that people are unable to evaluate it properly.
