Definately risky to enter this, but I liked it. Flames are interesting, and it has a warm feel to it. I think it's the wood under the candles that should normally be more in the shadows, but comes out in warm tones. Anyway... underrated in my opionion.

Hysterical! Your PS skills never cease to amaze me. But where is that pink polka dotted dress? :P

I'm a sucker for tuxedo kitties... and that little black spot on the nose is adorable! She looks so cozy in her spotted blanket! :)

Great job... I love how the 'restaurant' neon sign in the background isn't lit up. That would have been a major distraction to the shot. Nicely done!

I didn't vote on this challenge, but this is just fantastic! Even better is that you took the time to share the background on how the shot was done. I think I see that nighttime desert squirrel running around back there in the background! :P Great job, and congrats on a well deserved blue!

I'll second that! I always enjoy reading your photographers comments, even on something as simple and as this photo. Your daughter has really grown up over the last 2 years compared to your first 7+ photo... we'll keep an eye out in 2008 for the same chair to see how much more she's grown! Congrats on the ribbon... well deserved! :)

This is like one of those optical illusions... if you let your eye wander around, it seems to move in and out. Interesting!

Beautiful.. love the combination of the calm landscape with the one balloon. The sky colors and the light finish off a wonderful combination. Well done!!
