Ohmygosh! This is so cute! I love Charlie Brown and his co-horts. This is so refreshingly creative -- a standout in what I think is a VERY boring challenge. I hope this does well because its one of my favorites!

I love this Jacque!

Such bright vivid colors, and your cycle is as sharp as they come! Great, creative idea!

I don't think it deserves a 4.5 score either. ..at ALL!

This is a very good concept! Needs more dramatic lighting to really make it "pop".

Tee hee!! This is so creative! I love it! I didn't finish voting on all of the Hand challenge photos, but I would have voted this one high. I love the composition!

Jacque, I love this photo! I'm going to pm you and give you a couple more thoughts, but I really think this is MUCH better than 4.534!!!!! You have a good eye for what makes a great picture! The pose of this bird is FANTASTIC!

I like the idea of the kind of ying and yang thing. But, I don't think the two yellows work together.

Jacque, this is AMAZING!!!! I am totally bewildered why it only scored 5.1!!! You can see every single little feather, and they are razor sharp! I love the clean colors. The expression on his face. I think the voters reeeeeeallly missed it on this one!! The only thing I can see that could even possibly be seen as taking a hit is just a tiny tiny bit of highlights on his chest and top of his head that maybe could have been been fixed by creating a layer mask and upping the levels to darken those areas, and then erasing out the rest of it to let the background show thru. Other than that, I think there's no way this isn't scoring in the mid 6's! I think you take great pictures!!!!!

Very interesting shot. I like the play of the water reflections on the bridge. Looks like the contrast is a little too high, but then again, you probably couldn't get the wonderful colors and reflections any other way. Nice job.
