Suit the challenge well. I find this a bit grainy and soft though.

I love the expression and the desaturated colors. A clear winner for me.

Very nice picture. I'd like to see it with a bit more translucent color. It's a shame that the wine looks so black I think. Also, I find that the bottom of the glass shouldn't be cropped.

Very touching idea. I find the horizontals a bit tilting though which is a bit distracting.

I love your image and am sorry for the dq. Sensor dust *IS* a big problem on digital SLRs. I recently bought a macro lens which made the dust on my CCD even more apparent when used at high f/ ratios. I followed Canon's recommendations to clean the sensor, it is a very stressful process - I was shaking and holding my breath. The before and after pictures I took showed some improvement but I still have some stuborn spots. Some websites recommend special solvents and swabs but be honest, my 20D is still very new to either send it back for cleaning or to diy a scrabbing myself.

I'd vote for a change in the rules to allow spot editing with a Healing brush to fix Sensor dust problems on digital SLRs. I understand that this will be difficult to judge, but I definitely agree that we should have a discussion on the matter.
