This is such an amazing picture...the shallow depth of field and the composition make it one of my favorites on DPC. Excellent work.

Excellent take on the challenge. I like the composition and the lack of color, yet...it's still color. Very good shot!

Hmmm, this looks like the same can that Kiwiness used for his "can of worms" image. Great work with the reflection off the lid of the can...also, I really like the can opener waves around the edge of the lid.

After looking at all the thumbnails and voting on over half of the entries, I feel that this image will/should take the blue ribbon. I don't know what to say...great shot!

Great use of Shallow DOF...wow! This is my pick for a ribbon...great idea and wonderful execution. I only have two things/questions I'd like to mention. The exposure inside the cup seems a bit dark. Also, I'm wondering if having a bit darker cup would help make the white/lightness of the mouse's head and pink paws show up a bit more?

Again, I think this just might be a winner.

Clever take on the subject matter. I like the composition you have going on here and your exposure is spot on. My eye keeps on going to the upper right hand corner and unfortunately what I see is half a label. I guess in my opinion, either a full label or showing a bit more of the label would help to make the image more complete. I hope this helps.

When I look at this image, the word STRONG comes to mind. Very strong composition and subject...the gold of the zipper really stands out. I hope it does well.
