Let me be the first to say, congrats on 3rd place. A well deserved first ribbon.

ETA: As an aside, if you put another chap with a mustard yellow blazer and jeans in front of the blue door, you would have been a contender for the blue ribbon.

LOL. Good call on predicting the upside-down kisses in the comments. And btw, I can almost smell those cookies by the photo alone. I think they would taste great with a nice warm cappuccino.

Great job. Only thing left to do is beat this personal best with your next one.

Margarita-1oz Lime Juice, 1oz Cointreau, 2oz Tequila, Fine Sea Salt, Ice

Wow, James, I was convinced that this would outscore mine for sure. I am quite surprised that this didn't place in the 6's. Based on one of my comments, I think people started getting tired of alcoholic beverages and that may have impacted their scoring. As for the comment on the red napkin, to each their own but I disagree wholeheartedly. I think it frames the top and bottom of the glass perfectly.

WOW!!! I would have imagined this would place much higher. I think the soft focus works perfectly here. It gives it a mystic, dreamlike feel. Had you had sharp focus of any part of the field, it would have killed the mood.

The Need for Speed

The title is a tad odd for this image. The focal point (and the point of color) is the brakes. For this title, I would be expecting to look at a NOx tank (or something similar). But this is a photography contest, not a titling contest. So photo wise, the composition is good and the focus is spot on. I do feel that the lighting is off. I would have preferred to see the brake calipers brighter instead of hiding in the shadows.

Did anyone mention that there was lipstick on her teeth? ;)

Congrats on the finish and beautiful shot. Next time... ribbon.

Toothbrush in Black & White - Day 22

A very interesting shot of an otherwise common object. From the thumbnail, I thought it was some sort of post-processing of an X-ray of a hand.

This photo may hold the record for most screams from voters as they click through the images. This is a very interesting shot with excellent color and lighting. I am not convinced that using a centered composition was the best idea hear, particularly the area to the left. It may work well without it.

Subject wise, definite bonus point for capturing something I have NEVER seen before.
