Very nice Degas. Great composition and just enough movement to be expressive. The right ballerina's arms and dress are blown out, but not horribly. Well done!

Good crop and color, but even with a perfect exposure, this type of shot won't tend to fare well in the voting. The backs of three strangers aren't particularly interesting to most, and you'll get some 1 votes for the apparent 4th person in the stroller. Shooting 1/2 second earlier would have avoided the tree lining up with the man's head.

Yessiree... the old red wine, white wine and, uh... toilet bowl cleaner photo. Great color and exposure. One of my favorites in spite of being yet another shot of glasses.

Peek-A-Boo...

Yes, there are 3 fans, but the subject here are those great eyes. Perhaps with a little more light on the dark fan and a wider crop you might get a little more attention on the fans. Wish I could see the color version- it looks like you had a good exposure on the eyes.

Good find, though the out of focus cone in the rear is a little disappointing. Color and exposure are right on, and I like the diagonal composition. I'll bet you're kicking yourself over the distracting blue strip at the bottom.

First time I've seen a "non-famous" landmark that I recognize... I grew up near here. Good idea. It's a shame there wasn't a bird perched on it or something else to really show the scale.

Though I didn't get a chance to comment on this challenge, this shot was the only one I gave a 10 (lots of nines though). Very well done. Congrats on your best finish... so far.

Allow me to be the first to say you were robbed! This should have easily been in the top 10.

Good idea, but the dim light and obviously staged composistion hurts you.

Factory Accident?

I wish eye'd thought of that! The straight-on eye just rivets you to that spot- maybe a bit of an angle would be even better? This could be a ribbon.
