This has a nice feel to it and does a nice job of telling a story of who this person is. Probably getting hit a bit on some face showing, but I like it. Good luck in the challenge.

Wrapped Up

Comment:
I don't know. Doesn't feel right, like it's not really meeting the spirit of the challenge with that cardboard just sitting out there like that. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Meant to comment on this during the challenge, somehow didn't get back to it. Just wanted to say I LOVE the expression and essence of this cat you've captured here. The background works very well and the eyes are perfect! Technicals all handled adeptly. Great job and an image to be proud of.

You were robbed! Thought for sure this was good for top 20 at a minimum, maybe even higher. Hmmpph. Shows what I know I guess. :D

Keep up the great work!

Bud Light on Tap

Comment:
Ahhh, the frosty glass. :D Making me thirsty! I like the way the light works in this image with the glow coming across the coins on the table. Nice job on composing this. Many would be tempted to include all of the money on the table but I think it works better as you've done it. Good choice of aperture to slightly blur out the background. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Drink DNMC Beer - and the "Brown" is your's!

I wonder if this will get the most comments award for the challenge? :D A clever take on the challenge and an interesting image to look at as well. I think what makes it work (besides being clever) is the use of foreground and background subjects to tie it together visually for the viewer. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Orange Burst

Comment:
Certainly sends an 'Orange' message. Clean, well focusued and overall appealing. Trying to figure out the distortion on the top right of the can. It looks like the can is under two separate layers of water. I'll have to revisit after the challenge...hopefully you've told a little bit about how this was done. :D Good luck in the challenge.

Jax Beach...

Comment:
Seems like a lot to look at and the beer bottle isn't providing that much impact. What might have been cool is to come in a little tighter, move the bottle to the right some, and get more of the people in the background in the water and on the beach. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

How much Woodchuck do your Ducks chuck?

Comment:
Cute, kinda. I think you have too many props (ducks) with what should be the main subject. The background was white? If yes, a color temp adjustment needs to be made as it came out quite warm (yellow/red tones). Good luck in the challenge.
