The focus seems to be a bit froward, I see lots of detail in the brim of the hat, but much less in the eye, where I want all the detail I can get. Secondly the highlights seem close to blown on much of the face, the fine detail has been lost. On the plus side I like your leading lines, the gentle swoop of the hat and the hair move the eye around.

So one wonders how this great shot could possibly garner two one votes. Just lovely work Damon, and the flip was a great idea.

the framing is perfect here with a delicate lighting that suits the subject very well. I hope you will spot edit out those annoying bits of fluff above the key guard after the challenge.

This is a lovely image of a tool, well lit and beautifully processed to bring up the tones and textures; But it is a tool, one that one might use to make art, but not a thing that I can believe you have made, nor is it art in any sense. if you had this tool hanging on a peice of sculpture, then full marks, but displayed on a painted background with no touch of the torch to be seen? I'll return to vote later because I'm finding lots of pictures without art as a subject, but this one is very well done, but I have no idea how to score it.

I'm really torn on how to score this image, It is a truly lovely photograph, that seems to have nothing to do with the challenge. ill skip it for now and see if I gather some clarity later.

Later...there are so many images that dont respond to the challenge as I see it Im giving up on dnmc. great image.8

Clever idea, and an great POV. the only thing that keeps this from a ten is the blown highlights on the can and hand. Never the less its my pick for blue.

Ever had the feeling that you were being watched??

Its a shame there were so many squirrel and nut entries in this challenge as its likely to drag the score down on this fine entry. the colors are lovely and the DOF was handled perfectly
