While the slipper's just a bit overexposed, I'm lovin' the tongue! It SO makes the shot!

With the exception of just one tiny note, I think this is one of the best shots I've seen in this round... I would love to see just a touch more color saturation, and possibly just a little less green in the spectrum.

There were bikinis involved, just outside the frame of this shot, weren't there? ::grin::

Loving the long exposure as well as the angle.

Nightly Cross-Word Puzzle

You're likely to get a lot of these comments over and over, but here it comes again... That's a word search, not a crossword. The blandest aspect of the shot is you subject, and your viewer is being pelted with some of the harshest colors availible. And the shot as a whole comes across as a "snapshot" rather than a composed piece. But you did manage to capture an action, which is what a habit is, unlike a lot of the other entrants here, so I feel that I should mark up for that.

Early Morning Habit

Comment:
To me, at least, you seem to have managed to capture just the right light to define "morning". DOF is great. My only criticism might be to have changed the title to "early morning habits", but that's getting far too picky, even for me. A 9.

Addictive Fuzzy Feeling

Just enough blur to the shot to be distracting. Also, the colors, though muted, seem to be fighting for dominance. Try this shot in b&w and it may result in a stronger effect.

Well, the DOF is wonderful. However, there's no clue as to what's in the cup, and since it's a tiny, plastic cup with a tiny, plastic stick in it that can't be identified as a spoon, the audience has no way of knowing what the habit is.

Lifetime Habit

Overlooking the fact that I keep trying to make out the face in the reflection, I really like the tones used in the shot (as a b&w, this would have really suffered), there's just the right amount of lather to dictate the action, and the age of the hands gives us all the clues we need to tie it to "habits". Great work! A solid 9 from me.

Too high-key, to blurry in spots, and too sharpened in others. Makes it look more like an autopsy shot that an entry of artistic merit. And the more chewed nails I see in this competition, it makes me feel that it's the _action_ that's the habit, not the result.
