Very well seen and framed I like it! Time elapsing, eternity... lot's of symbols in one clock, but a nice one. This should win one the ribbons for me.

Growing Old Gracefully...

Why did you use a flash? It washes the details and brightens exaggeratedly the skin. It's a good idea, and expressions are perfect, but more attention to the lighting (coming from the side, or above, or from different points) would have led to something more gracious.

Nice details, colors reflection and water ripples. Image is too small to appreciate it well, but it\'s sharp and well framed. Not exactly on topic.

Looks a bit complicated. Just one flower would have been more gracious. Fill-in flash flattens the depth and washes the colors. For indoor composed shots, whenever possible, it's always better to use light (preferably halogen)coming from 2 or 3 directions, eventually flash on the ceiling on top. Or shot with daylight close to a window.

Cute, but would have been better with some cropping at the bottom and left side, between left duckling and the group. Would give a better focus on the ducks Colors are a bit washed, and seems oversharpened.

Natures Grace

Very attractive colors, but upper left part is distracting, as well as a too short DOF. Nice dtails in the center, and water is a good idea. Good framing.

Impressive. I can't say it's graceful, as generally excessive geometric exercises, but it's well seen and framed, and it's on topic.

Not really on topic, but good framing and attractive view of a trivial object.

Quiet Grace

Nice idea, difficult to express, but well done due to clever lighting. Conveys exactly what it is all about.

Grace On Her Knees

Graceful indeed, plus a very present touch of impressionism in the background. If Claude Monet had painted animals, he would have painted what you saw. Water ripples under the beak are perfect. Original by it's colors. Well done.
