Great capture with an interesting background as a bonus. I like the level bird and tilted horizon. For me it adds interest.

I like this, but I can't help but wonder if the bg was supposed to be white...I can't get white foam core to look white in my camera, so maybe that's it? I don't know. Good use of negative space. :o)

I love the complimentary color arrangement here...very vibrant. I also like the composition. Who knew a cheeto could be interesting? :o)

Excellent colors. I like the comp and the curves in the plate. Nice job.

Immediately when I saw this, I thought how much better it would be with a white background. My ps skills are not very good, but I decided to take a shot at it, to see if it would look better.

So I did, but I know some people don't like having their photos toyed with, but if you're interested in seeing it, I did it, and I think it makes the photo, which is already great, even better.

And I can't help but think, that if it had been white, you could have got a top ten placement.

Pretty gal. She looks a lot like my coworkers daughter. :-) I really like this in b&w. Good dof. I like the square crop, too.

Simple. I like it. I'm wondering if I would like it even better if the bg was white...? I never see things like this. Good eye...or idea. :-)

Really cute shot, Steve. I like the comp. I also agree that losing the blue cast would improve this shot. I might even clone out that light line in the bg, from the seal's eye to the right edge of the shot. Nice work, though.
