The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes

This would have been among my top pics (had I voted) among all the silly contrivances posted herewith. Your natural image is so sensitively composed and beautifully executed that I hardly have words to describe my reaction to it except to say it is a pleasure to find such a jewel among all the aforesaid....

Underrated in this challenge. Atmosphere and sense of immediacy are outstanding. But then I favor straight photography.

Two for Tea

Lydia, you're incredible with the frogs. It is now reaching the point of actually introducing a new and idiosyncratic esthetic by whatever name you care to apply. The wonder of discovery from repetition is the something new that is found even if indefinable, and I would argue that the deliberate attention you show in each of the new frog images reflects something even deeper than perhaps you have intended. This is wonderful and among the best I've seen of the frogs.

yummy! the greens look just a tad bit bluish and I'm not sure why you chose to leave the berry in the top right corner but the berries look super!

I'm not sure why you'd choose a rock to balance an egg, but it looks great!

Soft Light

Impressive. I have some doubts that it fits the spirit of the topic since the external light source seems to be upper right. But the detail and composition are exceptional. Maybe a 10 but marked down for topicality.
