Beautiful dog! I think that if the dof were less inclusive and the impuities on the snow behind it weren't so visible the effect here would be stronger.

Lovely. Great details and texture in the petals and stem. I think the green pops and that the colors and teh exposure fit the challenge nicely.

If there wasn't such a strong shadow in the background I think this would do better in this challenge. I think that well-lit subjects are going to do better, and that shadow definitely makes the background feel un-white.

This is cute, but it feels like cut and paste to me. I feel like it's another picture of people jumping that was cut and paste onto a background of white. I don't know why that matters, but for some reason it makes the pic feel fake to me.

I love that at first glance, this just seems to be the label and the cap floating in air. Then, as I let it sit there the bottle and words started to appear. It's like a Magic Eye game or something. I think the exposure is spot-on.

Haha, I love the title and I think this works really well for the challenge. Normally I'm not a fan of shadows like that, but I think it helps to define the shape of the subject here.

I really like the composition for this. It feels like it could be a lot sharper, and I think if it were it would really stand out.

I like this. I think the darkness in the shot is just limited enough to pop rather than take over the image. Great composition.

Cutie pie! But this feels too much like a snapshot for me. I think perhaps if the eyes were sharper and the nose were slightly oof, so that there's more of a feeling of depth that might fix it up nicely. The eyes look really uneven to me. One looks so shiny and one looks really cloudy. Maybe that's the way it really is, but it almost feels like editing or something.

I'm not sure what I feel is missing here. I like the composition. I think perhaps lighter lips in blak and white would look really nice and soft.
