The shadowing is well done but doesn't match the lighting on the woman or the flower, which is lit more from above and in front.

Daytime Painting

Very well done, but I have to believe I'm not the only person bothered by the fact that she's walking through the painting. Put her in the bottom right corner and it's more believable. Nicely conceived and executed nonetheless. In my top 3.

Well done, including all that shadow detail.

Love the squirrel on the couch, but not so much the one outside the window.

Had a feeling this was yours, Mary Ann. I suspected it would do well. Congratulations on the ribbon.

Would have been a very good "also ran" without the loose seed. With it it's in my top 2.

Flora Takeover

I really like the scene but not the processing. Greens and blues are oversaturated and I'd like a little more detail. Maybe darken the sides a bit as well. There's a 7 in here somewhere.

Moss Heaven

It appears that you were left with the same level of "flora" that I was, and experienced the same problem I had with moss - it's just hard to show in a photograph. Did you rotate this 90 degrees right? It works better for me the other way if you did, and wish you're rotated it left if you didn't. Tough to find something in this that draws you in but I appreciate you trying to do something different.

I really don't want to like the negative effect here. I don't want to, but I do. It works.
