Wet and Soapy

Wet and soapy? Yep. Touch? I don't see it. I personally look for more literal interpretations of the challenge subject. I do like a couple of the specular highlights up above the gas cap. Good luck with the challenge.

I'm a real soft TOUCH honest. !!!!

Sad looking little puppy ... But, without the title I have trouble seeing "touch" when I look at the photo. Good luck with the challenge.

Begs To Be Touched

Well, I don't see the "begging", in fact the duck's back is to us... Without the title I would have a hard time tieing the image to the subject of the challenge. In terms of the image itself, I would crop out the top 1/2 inch or so - enough to get red ot the one black reflection in the upper right. That'll concentrate the attention more of the duck and the water ripples without any distractions. Good luck in the challenge.

My personal preferences are to more literal interpretations of the challenge subjects. If I had this image without the title, I would have guessed you were saying something about scratchy beards or something. Nice cropping and focus though. Also picked up the details in the dark areas pretty well. Good luck with the challenge.

Eternity - Touched by the Hands of Time

Nice closeup, but I tend to more literal interpretations of the challenges. Without the title, I would have struggled to make the tie with "touch". Regardless, I like the composition and tone - although the overall image appears just a very bit soft to me.

Dog Touch Squirrel
by ximending

Comment:
I think I see the dog, and I possibly see the squirril, but, "Touch"? Naw, don't see it. Maybe if you had looked longer you could find an Angel - "Touched by an Angel"? Anyway, if you found one, I would have darked the sky slightly, increased the whites in the clouds, and given it a bit more contrast as a result. Just my opinion. Good luck with the challenge.

Can You Feel It?

Comment:
Super neat scenic. Backlighting of fog and steam creates it - along with stark contrast of plant silhouettes against the water. Almost "Turner-esque". Such an excellent image that one DOES feel it - not my original interpretation of "touch", but the interpretation that my eyes were opened to during forum discussions about conveying a "sense" of the feel of a subject - in this case the "scene". Congratulations and good luck with the challenge.

Interesting composition. Original in terms of not showing hand or fingers, just their presence known due to the shadows. Does give that sense of "touch". Can't see how to do it, but would love to lose small white area in upper left. Congratulations, and good luck with the challenge.

Nicely posed, well lit, good contrasts and tone. Wish there were a slight bit more focus in the foreground hand, but it still works.

Yep, that's touch. Little, wet bubbles and a childs fascination with them. Nice capture of the moment. Great focus on the eyes, facial features and some of the bubbles. Hand appears a little soft (maybe was moving?), but overall, it really works. Congratulations and good luck with the image.
