Really cute. Great job blurring out the background, I do like the effect of out of focus lights. Well done.

Awesome shot. The detail is absolutely fantastic. I really hope this doesn't get marked down for being non-human.

Great shot. The low shooting angle works really well, as does the sepia. One of my favourites this week.

Excellent light side/dark side shot. The two lines of light (lips & eyebrow) making their way into the dark side are the only things wrong with this shot, and they don't detract from it much. Focus & composition are absolutely spot on.

On the verge of what? A win? ; )

Takes the award for best looking model by a country mile. Great 'wind in the hair' look, lovely dimple, focus is spot on with the background nicely blurred out. Only complaint is that the background is still a little too busy & distracting. I find myself wondering what that white line running up from the left side is.
Excellent work, well done.

Personally I would have cropped just into the case to completely get rid of the background/carpet, but that's probably just me.
Nice old, battered looking case and a good idea for the challenge. Lacks a focal point but I do seem to like brown shots.

Great shot. Fog always seems to work well and this is no exception. Well done.

Excellent composition, fantastic clarity on the cork, great lighting and nice, but not too extreme use of DoF. An all round excellent shot. Well done.

OMG! LOL! Thank you for the laugh & well done on standing up straight(ish) for long enough to take the shot ;)
