This is an unbelievable shot. I love the (first or second) dog's turned head to the left with the open mouth, which really adds to the experience.

For someone who's never seen snow before, this really puts me in the action.

THis is very cute. The puppy feels a little soft for my liking - would a little but more contrast make a difference? If the white blows with contrast, I usually try and save it in B/W which works 80% of the time.

Nice shot still!

I love the angel you chose with this shot - it gives off a nice serene and tranquil feel.

Nice lighting and capture. It's a nice symbolic study.

This is very nice. I like the diagonal streak of coals in composition, it's very eye-catching.

Awesome DOF and composition. Your processing is also great - it really makes me feel close to the turtle's world and habitat.

Hey, is that Russia over there? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Now for the actual comment.

Without the title I wouldn't have guessed this was a boat. I suspected it was, but I've seen some mighty oddly built cabins as well. I didn't vote on this challenge, but this would've probably ended up with a 7 from me. I really like the bands of clouds and the bands of color going on in the image. I wish the boat was a bit brighter, I think it would make it clearer what it was. Nice choice of title, it's a way of saying "It's a boat, you fool. Without saying It's a boat you fool."
