We all begin our lives as innocent as a lamb

And then we get shaven and later eaten.

The image is magnificent, one of my favorites for the challenge. I love the colors, especially the little ribbon (Could it be your future title on dpchallenge?) which contrats well with the grass. The soft lighting and the DOF isolates the subject I don't know why but in a very innocent manner. I actually love the fact, that the coat is imperfect, that there's dirt and yellowness on the fur, it makes it well too real and fitting to the challenge. I really can't find anything wrong here.

:D Fabulously funny, it just made me laugh. But hey, if he can afford a starbuck's coffee, he can very well afford a tweezer no?

Simple and clean, colors are subtle and enjoyable yet it really lack contrast, a little push in the contrast in photoshop would have made this perfect.

It's for a car commercial right? :D

Fabulous entry with a fabulous lighting set up. Love the details on the lips and the focus as well though I must the nose and the teeth are a little bit distracting, but I wouldn't want to change the angle just to get rid of the nose and if the mouth was cloed it wouldn't have been this sexual. SO I pretty much think this is a perfect exemple of stock photography, and if I was a member (It's not my fault) I would have certainly given this a 9

Nice framing but lacks a real point of interest

Well I like the greenery and the abstractish blur on the grass though it is a little too obvious that this was taking from a mooving car. But I like the composition and the way the dead trees blend well into the houses. And that bumps up your score.

Definetly one of my favorites in the challenge, the lighting, the smoke, the ripples in the fabric makes this incredibly theatrical and beautiful. The composition is great as well, and I absolutly love that smoke. Though I do have a suggestion, maybe making the contrast higher so that the plastic rose and mask seem less plastic.
