Take some rest

Looks like a cozy place to sit. ;^) As for the photo, it looks a little snapshotish - stand, take picture. You may want to experiment with various approaches/angles (i.e. ground level shooting up, etc...) As for meeting the challenge - this one is going to take a beating I'm afraid. Yes, the description did say 'Grayscale' was acceptable, but the majority of voters are going to be looking for primarily B/W subjects with little color.

Funny how DOF works sometimes. ;^) The rose looks nice and I like the bg used - one minor thing, since this was advanced editing why didn't you apply a little blur to the bottom right corner and zap those lines in the bg out?

Simple, and creative - plus well done. Good luck.

Simple, yet very nice! Sometimes I think we all look too hard and miss the simple beauty right in front of us. ;^)

I like the bokeh you have on this. Only nitpick I have is I think you cropped (or composed) too tight on the right. I know you were going for off-centered or a ROT comp, but it feels like a mistake to lose that last 1/4 inch of spikes.

Lovely image for the challenge, and right on the money for meeting the theme. Good composition and nice choice for DOF - sharp as a tack too!

This looks like something that could work for a greeting card. I imagine you're probably getting hit a bit because of the parallel 'Gold' challenge going on - people thinking this is an "outtake" perhaps? Good luck in the challenge.

Nice catch here, but it's a bit soft and grainy. Nice job of composing it.

Here's "Peep"ing at You!

Cute! ;^) I think it's the subject itself being soft and fuzzy, but it gives your image the impression of being a little too soft overall. If it was sharp around the "eyes/face" it would help.

Hmmm. What was I in here after?

I can see why you wanted to use this shot, it's very cute and the title is perfect. However, it's not in focus...looks like you just missed.

Hmmm. Not overly exciting to look at. JMO. Image is soft and OOF and too grainy.
