CUTE! I might have cropped out the hand and just gotten the pencil, but really creative. I like it!

This creepy thing has some great contrasting colors. It really stands out and draws your eye in.

Seems a bit flat (laking contrast) and soft (not sharp or clearly defined). Cool looking spider though. :)

pretty good spider pic, the background is a bit busy and distracting

Spider looks to be a tiny bit out of focus?

Nice shot - the busy background is a bit distracting, though.

Comment by Traff:
I'm a bit of a stickler in the DNMC stakes - can't see the point in setting a challenge if you're not going to meet it - but i actually think this shot 'interprets' the concept quite successfully/imaginatively. I like the way it 'mirrors' the obvious interpretation of capturing a moving element within a still landscape, and the challenge becomes to capture a still element in a moving landscape. I think it meets the challenge quite interestingly.
For the execution to really work though I think a tripod would have been essential - the 'still' bits really need to be 'still' and the camera shake spoils that important element of the illusion.
Good shot at the challenge though.

How about the fences or street signs or the sign in the parking '30'

One thing that makes still life what it is, is the break from the candid/documentary technique. While some of the cars are still they don't make for a convincing still life because this is just documenting what you saw. In other words, you didn't set this shot up.
