Hopeful for a Kiss

It's a nice frog image (but remove the blown out rock in the bottom left corner). The frog is very well exposed and sharp as a tack. But the only hope here is your thinking the voters will buy into your title.

It is a SUPERB cat image. Great capture of the intent stare, perfect exposure, great lighting. Hope is a reallllly long stretch.

Ah - fits the upcoming "framing" challenge as well - perfect example. Nice, simple, well composed and exposed.

SUPERB printing. The whites are crisp and really white - the blacks are strong and dynamic. And there is a great tonal range in between. My highest B&W in this challenge. Composition is perfect as well. Thanks for sharing.

OK - I've viewed this image several times. It is captivating with wonderful colors and graphic design. At first, I thought the "drops" were water drops and had convinced myself that it was upside down. Now - I think they are air bubbles and it is right-side-up. Then there's the "hope" issue - I just can't make it fit into that subject - as much as I really want to. So - you get a really decent score for an imaginative and artistic image that would be better served in a different challenge.

This is one great image. Your choice of the slow shutter speed did wonders with the water - it's magical. The stopped down lens (or star filter) added a great touch to the light. This should finish way up there! Congratulations on a superb entry.

Superb image. The face is just perfect - great lighting, great expression. Hand is a bit soft but it is not distracting.
