What is this?

Sorry, but this shot doesn't look very nice to me. O.K., your cropping is IMHO well done and thereby you are dirceting the attention of the viewer to the face / eyes of your cat. But unfortunately the face is extremely out of focus. Personally I think, that it is impossible to achieve an interesting lighting by using the cameras flash. Nevertheless, good luck with your next submission :-)

"Out of the dark" could have been an other apposite title, but yours is much more cliche :-). Personally I like, that you don't show more of the stem by your lighting. Perhaps I would have cropped a little different. IMHO there is too much black space around the blossom. But this is only marginal. Great work, good luck!

A very clear and professional looking picture with perfect lighting. The selective use of water is well done too. Perhaps I would have cropped a little stronger on the top and the bottom of this shot. But that's only marginal. Great work, good luck!

WOW, what a great photo! Your composition / cropping is perfect, the texture und the colours are highly impressive. IMHO only the vertical wrinkles in your background are disturbing a little bit. But this is nerly nothing and marginal. One of my favourites this week, good luck! (10)

Interesting try to make something different. Unfortunately the rose is out of focus and has some overexposed parts.

Thanks a lot for your comments and for giving me a higher score, than this shot deserves. I like the motion blur of the birdie myself. It took about 20-30 shots, to get this IMHO satisfying result. But you are absolutely right with your criticism on the wrinkles in the background. I didn't realise this mistake while shooting. But unfortunately I didn't had the time to make it better with a new shot...

Square competition gone to my head.

A very creative interpretation of the challenge, I like the posture of your model too. Bit IMHO there is some space for improvement. A different lighting could have made this shot more impressive. Perhaps an other and less distracting back(under)ground could be helpful too. I'm not sure, that I like the wrinkles very much. Nevertheless a very unique submission! Good luck for the challenge, I voted 7.
