I thought this would be a winner, and you nailed it! I didn't notice the sunglasses matching the mural, nice shot.

Just stunning, the B&W is a nice touch, and thanks for posting the original.I think I like the hands in the shot even better. Both are very nice, how did you get the shot?

Pretty shot Damon, simple and straightforward.Your work has been so rich and quirky lately that I would never have guessed this was yours. Sounds like you aimed at a top ten and hit the mark.Is this gonna be a new direction or more in the way of an experiment?

I like the idea of the border, but this seems a bit heavy. I like the more dynamic framing here with the use of the angle. Any shot of a bird the week after the wildlife challenge was going to be hammered on the basis of the "seen that before" deduction. Not fair, not warranted, but not unexpected.

very nicely done! If it isnt too much of a pain, could you sketch out your steps to get this sweet result?

The composition seems tilted counterclokckwise a bit and the highlights in the dress are blown out. The lighting is well balanced if overwhelming of some detail, especially nice is the line around her left arm and side of ther face, switching tones at the sholder. The massing/ framing is good, but that loss of detail bother me, I can't make out what she is holding in her right hand.

While I dont care for shoehorning flower shots into challenges, the colors here, particularlly the way the blue grey backround sets off red peach, make this work pretty well. Nice DOF and bokhen, but it's still a stretch

Silly, but alot of fun. The flash is too harsh to show off the little furball's fur and it makes ugly reflections in real and glass eyes. That patch of open backround in the upper left seems a waste.

The top of the text is blown and the uppermost part of the filter is outside the focal range. The idea is a classic (i.e. used alot but still good) and I like the clever use of the text and the centerness. Rotated square and with more carefull lighting would have helped a nice image score better
