Oooo, I like this shot. Excellent placement of the figure (a photographer and tripod?) within the composition. I also like the silhouette against the well exposed sky.

Quite the view from up there huh? :) I got to go snowshoing up there twice this year, and it's always beautiful. Congrats on the climb! I hope you get the time to explore the Rockies to your heart's content :)

I love this shot. I can feel the anxiousness of the dog in awaiting the treat. What amazing self discipline! My two dogs would not even have let the treat hit the floor :)

Beautiful shot and I love the composition. The colors in the sky are excellent, and the peace of the moment has truely been captured. I can really empathize with the loss of loved canine family members.

Unmistakably annah :) Excellent lighting and contrast. I love the soft and smooth skin tones, and a good creative effort in the challenge interpretation. The razor sharp focus and piercing eyes really hold my attention to this photo.

This image has so many elements, the eye is lost and left to wander, which doesn't captivate much interest in the viewer. Maybe if you turned out the lights, but left the TV on, then used a nude model (male or female) standing infront of the TV with some interesting lighting and shadows, then this image could compete with the best in this challenge.

Definitely outside the box here, but doesn't appeal to me that much even outside of a Nude challenge. Good lighting and focus though.

Great idea here, though I think the extreme blur makes the image uninteresting. I think that using this same type of idea, but in razor sharp focus, with a black background and interesting shadows on the models could have the potential for a top 10 finish.

I like the composition and smooth skin tones in this shot. The soft focus and (what appears to be) partial double exposure help to convey the dream message well.

Good use of DOF to keep the model the focus of the shot. (The background looks like it could be very distracting if in focus) I wish we could see the model's right cheek which is now blocked by some hair. I think this would give a less distant/disconnected feel to the shot. Maybe if the model was looking up at the camera (with her head still tilted down), her eye would deliver a big impact and really hold the viewer's attention. The composition is ok, though doesn't enhance the shot much.
