I simply adored this shot when I first saw it during the voting. Its very well thought out. Someone mentioned the shoes being set up, need to come to my house there is usually at least one pair of shoes near there and usually little boy's clothes too.

It is in relatively good focus, the dof is good. The only thing that really could be better is the lighting, but I know bathrooms aren't always the best of places for good lighting near the floor.

Definately meets the challenge. Well done and remember to put the seat down when you finish...sorry I couldn't help myself...I have to agree I would have loved to see this finish higher!

This is very soft on the focus an unsharpening mask may have helped. Also when taking baby photos get down on the same level as them don't take the photo looking down at them. The camera was obviously higher than the babies face.

"The Break"

Very interesting image, like everyone else says I can also hear the break. I do agree with many of the comments this would have been a wonderful motion photo also.

The focus and dof are good on this. I tend to agree about the blue of the pool table most are green but I have seen a few blue ones, and I am thinking the lack of lighting after the intial flash is the reason for the deepness of the blue table and the balls being a little dark.

Overall it is a good shot and there isn't a lot you can do to improve on it, but if there is any kind of a motion challenge in the near future I'd do it again if I were you =o)

Nice looking dollhouse, a lot of time put into it to have the lights even, wow!

It does in its own way meet the challege of home sweet home. Your detail is pretty good the only real distraction I see is the glare from probably your flash in the "chest of drawers" in the room on the top left.

It is an interesting image keep on participaing and improving =o)

Very nice photo of the Herons looks as though they are loving each other. The birds are in very good focus and it is obvious you have captured them in their home enviroment.

The leaves in the lower right corner are very distracting. A bit overly exposed but I believe that was something you had no control over as it looks like sunlight causing that. You could have though tried cropping in closer to the birds and cutting out that corner. I believe it would have improve the image greatly by cropping out all the leaves across the bottom and right side.

In all though that is a really good capture of the birds! Nice shot Rob very well done.

Very nice image bright and very colorful. Does it say home sweet home? That depends on if you have a greenhouse.


It is very well in focus but at the same time very busy. Cropping this differently would have solved that focusing either on just the plants or the door with the arbavita and the other flowers framing the door. As it is now its just a bunch of plants and a door that doesn't say a lot about home.

Try and focus more on one thing rather than several and it will work better.
