Up to par?

Very well done...I like the sharpness of the dimples, the negative space on the left and the framing of the ball. Nicely done, I hope you ribbon!

Shipping Crate Cezanne

The person and shipping crate are an excellent subject and perfect for this challenge. I also like the composition of the person/ladder in the frame.

I realize that the fence introduces another version of texture to the image, but I feel interferes with the repeating "texture" of the shipping crate. I'm not entirely sure I like the red border on the image either, it seems just a bit bright for my tases, but that's just my opinion.

I think this is a great take on this challenge, a very good subject. I feel the water and sky seem to dominate a good portion of the image, it's a shame you didn't (couldn't?) shoot this from a bit higher vantage point.

This is just great, well thought out and an excellent use of shallow DOF. I hope this one wins, or at least ribbons!

I really like this shot. The DOF, the composition, the sepia tone, the detail...great job.

Every Droplet counts in the Distillery

I predict this will ribbon and probably win, although that isn't a very hard prediction to make. Of course this image is striking because it's a waterdrop image, but the thing that I like the best is the symmetry as well as the bottle at the bottom of the image.

I was going to suggest having the bottle in the background flipped around so it appears upright in the waterdrop; but after thinking about it, I like this the way it is. I like how the water at the top is white against the orange and how the upright label in the background is recognizable because it's upright. Of course that's my opinion, others may feel differently. Nice work and contratulations!

Beautiful subject, absolutely perfect for this challenge. I like how the fork and meat are symetrically located in the center of the frame while the dog has his head tilted. Great idea and well exectued, nice job!

I really like the color, composition and sharpness. The use of shallow DOF is great and doesn't detract from the image at all. Nice work.
