Great idea, and well done. Now, put that duck decoy back together! ;^)

This would make a neat print to place in many different rooms with that natural color tone to it. Very unique. Good eye to see this.

Step away from the reel...go to the store...buy ANYTHING but a bait-casting reel! ;^) You have to either love em, or hate em.

Great concept for this challenge. Wonderful lighting and nice crisp focus. I'll bet you brought the beach inside for this one didn't you? He-he. That's cool. Well done. 9

Nice potential here...a little too dark to break an above avg score I'm afraid.

Interesting take on the challenge theme. I like it. Do wish the paper was illuminated a little better.

Boulevard of broken trucks

It's always interesting to see when more than 1 person runs across the same exact item to enter for a challenge (see Aged entry). ;^) For sure this is a compelling subject and fun to look at. This version has some issues with lighting as I find it a bit harsh (looks like flash was used). Too much of the subject in this seems to be the steering wheel. 4

Good luck in the challenge.

It's always interesting to see when more than 1 person runs across the same exact item to enter for a challenge (see 'Boulevard of broken trucks' entry). ;^) For sure this is a compelling subject and fun to look at. The lighting in this version is much more appealing, natural and not harsh. Good job on bringing out the details inside the cab. This angle/composition works well as the building to the left has been eliminated and therefore the distraction removed. 7

Good luck in the challenge.

All alone with my cold broken heart

All alone and reading a basic Java programming book? ;^) I like your interpretation of this photographic technique. Was this a sacrificial filter, or already on the way to the trash bin (of course you never really know when garbage-collection is going to get called)?

It's contrived, but should do well. Only thing (really!) that might hold this down some is your choice of textbook. He-he.

Good luck in the challenge.

Yikes! How did that happen? Hope the shooter is ok. As for the image, two things stand out to me that could make this a little better: Lighting (it's a little dark), and focus (well, maybe not...appears that the shotgun shells are worn in the red making them look fuzzy). Anyway, good luck in the challenge.
