Great to have all the fine variations of colored threads. Could be framed and displayed in a museum of modern art.

Creative, artistic, good command of light, one of the best in the challenge.

An Apple a Day
by Lawton

Comment:
If your title correctly identifies the subject as an apple (the wrinkles and colors do seem consistent with a dried piece of formerly desirable fruit), you may be at risk of someone noticing an implied transition process from once living to no longer living (with ironic indirect reference to the childhood rhymed advice finishing with "keeps the doctor away" -- but too late for this patient). Unfortunately, that might also trigger memory of the specially flagged notice attached to this challenge: "Extra rules apply to this challenge Shots of currently living or once living things may be disqualified" (underline and bold added). Otherwise nicely detailed and interesting.

If you do not look, you will not see

My eye would rank this much higher. Not only good documentary image of the critter, but also interesting expression, good use of light, exemplary composition, and title conveying good advice to photographers as well as lizards. If B&W images could be ranked separately from the others, this image would be 17th instead of 67th. Yeah, maybe that's what we need.

Nice compromise between macro detail and garden setting elements. Should do well.

Very cute expression of the fascinated child. Love the expressions of adults in the background.

Victory dance

Great timing to capture peak of the bucking motion and the instant of first reactions of the people. Rodeos provide lots of light, allowing stopping the action with shutter speed instead of flash. Looks like you may have been blessed with just enough overcast sky to escape the excessively harsh shadows that often come along with this setting.

Woo-hoo! 2000th Challenge - a reason to shoot a firework rocket

Impressive point of view, with firework bursts captured at just the right moment to balance the composition. Hope your notes let us know how you managed to get this one.

What could have been a family outing snapshot gets elevated to the realm of art. Excellent framing, and great to have adequate light on the seated girl.
