This may have turned out a lot better using a slightly shorter shutter and a mini tripod plus timer to get the camera dead still. Like the colours and cropping. Good composition.

For what it's worth, I personally believe the wide black frame is very much required for this image to maintain intensity.

It seems quite a few people don't like frames for some reason. Yet every picture has a frame, like it or not. "Why not make the frame work for the photo instead of against it?" I say.

This is my favourite shot of the challenge. Pity I missed the voting.

Perfect for June, well lit and nocely executed. I just plain like this. Enjoy your 8.

Yummie! (or not :) I think the focal point should have been lower down (not that I really want to see what's lower down more in focus... but none the less...) The dark eyes have this one begging for a fairly heavy black frame for a white callendar page I think. 6.

The long exposure evident in the waterfall bares testiment to the dead still air here. Nicely cropped. The birds in flight become a distraction as a result unfortunately. But what a silly detail - this is nicely executed and deserves an 8.

Sometimes one just has to say "10!" even before they've given it much thought. In this case, the thought didn't change my mind. The black frame suits this image well.

Nicely executed. Perhaps my ignorance of such fine things prevents me from seeing the link with December?

I can feel both the cold and the warm through this photo. Well done! I think a broadish black border/frame would suit this image for a white page. Perhaps the focus should have been on the mugs contents rather than the gloves? A nice 7.

Lovely. Right on target for the challenge, nicely cropped and composed and the exposure is just right for my tastes. A crisp black border would really set this off on a white page I feel. 8.

Is that "may" of "neigh"? :) This is an ideal callendar shot, though it somehow lacks the clarity one might expect in May. Could be just my silly LCD screen... sp please enjoy your 7.
