I think I would have tried a different angle. I like the concept and literalism.

Not sure if the soft focus was intentional, but I would like to have seen it sharper. The man's seems to have alot of character.

I heard it through the grapevine

Nice soft shades and a pretty model. The expression really says "listening". Wish I had thought of it because we have lots of wild grape vines around here.

Great photo. I might have tried a looser crop, but I'm not sure how that would have looked. Good literalism.

You're Nuts

Great color, contrast, and clarity. Awesome photo. Would have love to edit the eye so it was opaque white and then rename the photo to "Even a Blind Squirrel Finds a Nut Sometimes. Its still my top selection for this challenge.

The Sword in the Stone

Comment:
Great photo. I thought of this title, but didn't think I could do the photo that well. Good contrasting background. I might have tried a little closer crop to see if I could get more detail on the sword, but its still well done.

The Greatest Generation

Great composition. The Colonel in the photo looks like he has alot of character. I'm an Army brat and a retired Marine so your photo was special for me.

"A Field Guide to Hawks of North America"

Nice shot, really like the photo. I think its a Broad Wing, but it could be a Redtail. I was going to ask if it was wild or captive, but I think I see telltale signs of fencing in the foreground. Its still really nice. I've been trying to get some pics of Redtails this fall, but they are really elusive. Check my profile to see a couple of attempts.

Remembrance Day

Really well done. A great poem, and the lighting and leaves make it sort of moody.
