I really liked your dark emerald river otter/ocelot, all viscous shimmer.

Nice shot Don. The silk shadows on the kernels add a lot to the depth of the image.
Congrats on just doing what you are very good at, and on having the voters appreciate it.
I'm also a Fuji fan. I wore out a couple of S3 Pro's before getting a Nikon.

Something really different for the right angle challenge but it is no less applicable and suitable for the challenge. I like that

High on the cute factor for this shot and it does help to carry the image further on the voting scale and getting some feedback and comments. Huge gap on voting scale between people commenting and those just voting.

Processing works well and the B&W suits this. Comp does help the right angle theme as well though it could have been further strengthened to have your line flush with the couch at the bottom.
Some basic drawbacks on this image is the lack of sharpness where it counts. You have a crisp pillow but the dogs are O.O.F fist noticeable on the eyes which is where the cute factor lies..
D.O.F at 3.5 is not that great further not helping to get more in focus. Maybe a bigger F stop number would have helped here and with little light, push the iso up. I realise a 40d does not have that much noise control but this is an image that could even do with some grain.. but it needs to be sharp. (as contradictory as that may seem to some degree :)
some may complain about the folds in the material? In general it makes this scene more homely and natural.. yet for the theme being right angles those curves softened the angle effect for me - especially those in the background.

Keep thinking out of the box as this was a fresh scene in the challenge.

I'd say to return it out of principle!

Wow! Very wonderful! So 3-dimensional, I wanted to rub my screen to make sure there weren't any bumps on it. Congratulations on the front page honorable mention.
