I love these Naperville cows! Extra point just for making me smile. You're shot fits the category, nice close up, would like the background a bit more blurry -- as presented, well done

RT and dogs

this is a great, creative use of dsat. the border works well, the scratchy green is interesting... trees provide a good background - perhaps a bit too much negative space on either side of the professional models

would like to see a cap/gowned person to make the point a bit more

now that's the idea! -(I hope no sheets were harmed in making this shot ;)
Your angle works, like the touch of the "5"

nice capture but your background is way too busy -- blurring it in camera or post processing would help keep my eye on your excellent subject

your background distracts my eye from your subject.

excellent idea here -- a bit more light on the front would give the beans a punch more color.

Next Customer, Please

Thanks to all for comments -- yes, it IS cropped too tight. I appreciate the confirmation.

I found myself in a photographer's dilemma as I had a great shot of this fellow and his partner waiting for the next customer. At the "eleventh" hour I decided to recrop it because you could identify the partner (I wouldn't want someone to post my shot so I didn't want to post his) I tried the crop and thought it still communicated waiting.

this one has a creepy feel, great color work, (would be excellent if the car was a bit more unusual or interesting - no insult to your car meant!) light from behind and the streaking cars going by makes the shot. One of my favorites this challenge
