Now that is some sweetness! Very clean and crisp, yet detailed and not NI'd to death. Lovely composition and very well done! Good luck in the challenge.

This is a tough one. If you're going to enter a shot that you (should) know is going to be well represented, it helps to take a unique approach. If not, the photo needs to be crisp and clean. This is a little bit too noisy/grainy to hit even an average score I'm afraid. All JMO of course. Good luck to you in the challenge.

Some pretty fine details here. Amazing what things look like up close sometimes. :D This is certainly interesting to look at. Too bad about that straggling hair up top. :) Good luck in the challenge.

I'd love to know what your shutter speed was. Whatever it was, it wasn't enough to catch that cute tail! :D Just kidding. I think that tail blur brings this photo alive for the viewer. Without the blur it would be a cute shot. With the blur it makes you smile. Nicely seen and captured. The B/W treatment was a good choice as well. Good luck in the challenge.

I get the impression you were going for a spotlight effect? That would probably work well with this subject, but the lighting you used seems a little harsh, perhaps if you diffused it some...? Another thing to consider is the ISO setting on your camera. There is a lot of noise in this photo when really there shouldn't be for this kind of setup. JMO of course. :D The subject you picked has potential as this pair of shoes has character. A little more attention to detail and your score would probably climb on this considerably. Anyway...best of luck to you in the challenge.

Ok. Now I've seen my fair share of matchsticks, smoke, multiple flame shots in this challenge. I have to say that this is the most enticing thus far, of course I still have 100+ to go yet. :D I really like the way you composed this and the exposure and use of light on the smoke is outstanding. Nicely done.

But the box says Muncie, IN 47305. :D That's what you get for having such a finely detailed, well focused image! Cute. Good luck.

The metal shavings are a nice touch, as is the soft reflection. Nicely done.
