Great idea - this made me chuckle! Good composition and dof. I wish the overall focus were a bit sharper though - this would have been absolutely tops if it was tack sharp.

Lovely image, I particularly like the soft focus and colour treatment. Don't really get a link with failure though - that's a bit tenuous.

Catastrophic Containment Failure

I keep trying to figure this image out. I think it's a balloon, but I can't get the darker line of red across it. The glare spot is rather distracting. Good idea for the challenge through and great title.

Great idea and title. This could have been great if the overall focus was sharper and also there were more contrast between the jigsaw pieces and the background.

I wish I could understand the connection with failure here. This is a good image and I like the treatment a lot.

Okay, maybe I'm missing something here, but I really can't get any connection to success with this image.

This is utterly, totally brilliant. Perfect for this challenge. I love the colours, and the clarity. The crop is quite tight - a little more space at the top and including all the tail feathers would enhance it even more I think. In spite of that, this is definitely one of the best entries in this challenge - a ribbon winner I think.
