What are great image.

I would have maybe tried to not have the rim of the glass cut the lemon, but I love the lighting.

Well Done Amy, this was well deserved - that D80 certainly agrees with you.

Keep up the good work and the ribbon will be yours!

It may be a 'literal representation of an existing art', but how is that Does Not Meet Challenge? This cleary meets the challenge as it depicts LOVE.

The literal representation of an existing art rule was abandoned in the latest rule set, so it's not even grounds for DQ.

Don't you just hate it when that happens

I recognise this reprobate! This shot is funny as well as a different take on an otherwise stale challenge.

The posing is great, and I like the fact that the interaction is between these two only - I.E: not with the photographer. This is also really well lit.

I have a question. If your son(?) is holding that beast, what was this shot taken with? (please say it's the Barbie!)

This is great. I love the way the oragne colour leaps off the screen and punches you in the face!

A nice use of a shallow DoF, and the composition is nice to.

Pin sharp! Good luck (7)

Good contrast, detail and lighting.

I'm not too sure I like the ice in this shot, but I know what you wanted to acheive, and this is a good attempt.

You got the colour spot on. Good luck (5)

This is funny and a nice take on the challenge.

There are some hot spots, that need dealing with and I'm not so sure about the composition of the final image, but that is just personal taste.

I love the colour and teh detail in the fruit (6)

World Enough, And Time

This is great. I find it clean, well composed, and the exposure is spot on. It seems a little soft and the border is (IMHO) too big (that is just my opinion!), I love this shot.

Good luck (7)
