I like this shot. But, it suffers from a lack of resolution - it looks like you enlarged it after shrinking it. Nice exposure/composition though.

I like this shot - it made me laugh when I saw it. I only wish you'd had better lighting on her face - maybe fill flash or had her looking up to catch more light? Good luck!

wow! flawless shot - at least on my gf's laptop screen =] i love the tone and lighting, but mostly, you got the expression of the feet and the wooden model to leap off the screen... that thing is alive!

Fenced in

i really like this shot. the mood and tone are just right. the lightly saturated sky really makes me feel like i'm at the beach. if i had a nit about it, i'd probably like to see what a deeper dof might have looked like with the lighthouse and fence both in focus.

oh no, it's got a cat in it! =] a lot of people have been complaining about cat pics, but i really like what you did here. great capture of expression and motion blur on the cat, and i love the way you composed the shot making the cat take up more than the whole frame. good luck!

This is a great shot. the tone, focus, dof and appearance of captured action are spot on. but, the photo seems to represent action more than the object - i hope that doesn't take away from the score. good luck!

love the colors and the light. don't really care for the border. i think this is the most well realized abstract of the challenge.

Soap!

love the idea, color, composition and lighting. looking at it some more, i'd like to see the bar of soap a little over to the right - a different angle or a tighter crop? might balance the shot more. my top pick, this shot really stands out from the rest.

Unsharpened Pencils

i really like the dof, color and subject. but i wonder if the centered, tight crop hurts the image. maybe portrait to see the whole container? still one of my favs for the challenge.

Purple Vase

Nice and clean image. I like all elements, composition, exposure, highlights, etc. The shadow is curious and gives a lot of motion to the image. Makes me wonder if the shadow is natural, made by long exposure with a moving light source or done in photoshop. Maybe my only nit would be the shading in the upper left corner, although it does add some balance to the starkness of the opposite corners.
