A Tough Day

Good eye...although I wonder if B/W would have done it more justice. I think there are some elements that could be adjusted with the image, but the subject is very solid, so I can't knock you as much on little technicalities which, in the end, are really just opinions.

8.

You are number three in my ultra-close up selections! Really well composed, and the color is flawless. 8!

I love this shot. The flowing and disrupted girl trying to pull this stubborn and static cow toward her is a very good juxtaposition.

My one qualm about this, is the very large DOF. Either that, or processing which has lent a very clarified look to the entire image. There is just a lot to take in here, and I think that overwhelms the most interesting part of the image.

No matter, still an excellent shot, and worthy of an 8.

Perfectly captured! It lacks the super exciting content of my higher rated entries, but I felt you deserved the 8.

Hell's Kitchen? As in "AND NOW, THE CONTINUATION OF HELL'S KITCHEN" on Fox?

Regardless, a cool, well executed nightscape.

Definitely a unique take among the myriad landscapes in this challenge. For your stand out entry, I give you an 8!

Hello there little fella'

The epitome of a cute image. Normally, not my favorite, but I thought this was really cool, the composition is interesting with the tree and such, plus, this is a pretty rare shot of a daytime raccoon who has decided to say hello.
