An appealing image that meets the challenge well

A lovely wildlife shot in very natural looking surroundings. I don't know if this was a captive animal but I like its intense stare together with your composition that rightly has the fox looking into the empty frame. Very good use of DOF and good sharp focus on the eyes, it all works really well together, nice one...

Very effective use of the tilt/shift technique Janine. I like the use of mono it contrasts the dark centre against the petal very effectively. Your composition is good, the soft focus areas really make the centre stand out. I like the whites but feel a touch less exposure may have benefited but all in all a very nice job, well done.

Not bad use of the technique to isolate the center of the flower. Nice tones too.

I thought this looked familiar. We love canoeing this river. Beautifully done.

An interesting image that contributes well to the challenge

This is an appealing landscape with your choice of composition featuring the water so prominently it takes you into the image as a whole nicely. Its even more interesting that there it is pure natural landscape alone with no other signs of life of any sort, which, of course, would not be the case its just not evident. There is unfortunately some detail lost in the highlights that may have been reduced during the exposure but good detail in the landscape itself. Well done for the high score and placement Janine
