Very nice stuff.

Did you consider trying it with a hue shift?

I bet that the green color really helped smooth things out though in a way that a hue shift wouldn't have...

Interesting High contrast shot. I feel that it needs to come in another 10 pixels on each side though...

One of these days I'll get my very own spot in one of these shots with Godzilla the Flame Master...

He sure is dreamy!

HEY. I can dream right? ;)

Oh and Kenart, your sprite looks like a lego man!

Definitely very nice and I agree with the comments about the light in the haze on the water's surface, but I will add appreciation for the reds in the water...

I'm having a little trouble with the saturation though. I think that the saturation is just pushed a tiny bit too much and has caused clipping... Either that or it's .JPG compression...

Not so much of a gripe as a 'be careful that the original is clean'...

What an interesting way to arrange a picture.

I'm a little thrown off by the washed out nature of the deer, it really flattens the image a lot, but I like the rest of it... Would it be possible to bring the deer out just a bit by gently nudging the saturation and contrast just of the deer a bit? Especially in the face area... looks very smudgy...

It looks to my eye like you actually shrank the image by around 5-7% and pasted on top... there seems to be some repetition in the border...

I'm feeling a bit mixed on this, but personally, I'd kinda prefer the border be a mask to the effect rather than a carbon copy of the inner edge...

I've been paying a lot more attention to borders lately and this is one of the more interesting ones I've seen lately.

I tried a bump of around +20 to reds saturation and +11 to yellow saturation and it wasn't too bad, but I still wasn't happy with the face of the deer... I wonder if a bit of masking might help the face?

I'll give it a twiddle in a few...

EDIT: How's this?

My top pick for #1, although I will say that I agree that it's overprocessed just a bit... I think the specks in the BG and on the hand are just a little too strong. Gentle use of blur tool maybe?

Your Grandma's hand looks fantastic.

Very well done... A small suggestion might be to put black tape on the kidckstand to prevent the excessive reflection.

The one on the bottom looks like she is thoroughly unimpressed.

The middle one looks a little tired and seems to need the help...

One of the few photos that is undersized that actually looks half-decent in a small size!

The constraint feels very road-sign ish...
