Comfort in chocolate

This picture gives me gas with all the chocolate thrown in my face. Try using a wider depth of field to get more in focus (4).

Getting the center rose in sharper focus would have done wonders for this shot. And I'm not really feeling any comfort from this (4).

Isolating the birds makes this a nice clean shot. Good work.

Hey, that's great. You don't see pictures of the dunes from that angle too often. Nicely done.

Moving Rock

Wow. Thanks to everybody who took the time to make constructive comments and push me up into third place. I had a feeling all along that I was fighting for third place along with the Tiger picture and of course the other Moving Rock picture - the top two were in a league of their own.

Living on the East Coast, I find it hard to compete with the scenic photos from Iceland or the Western US. So I knew I had my shot to get something good when I visited Death Valley and was luckily able to come away with some great pics.

I was pretty surprised to see another Moving Rock picture and even more amazed that people made comments simply to tell me there was another one like mine. I actually took a bunch looking the other way like gaurawa did, but I prefered the rock in the foreground.

For those that asked how the rocks move... nobody knows. Just type in "Racetrack Moving Rocks" into Google and you'll get a bunch of theories. It's an interesting place.

Hey man, nice work. I also took mine on the 18th. Were you there the same time I was (3:00-4:00)?? I was pretty shocked to see another Racetrack picture show up in this challenge!
