This is very nice and I can see this hanging in an office where employees would gaze on it. I like that you used the circle which matches the subject. I'm sure this will do well. Good luck with the challenge!

Nice capture. I like how you got the shot with the wings expanded. And yes, he is on the edge. :-) Good exposure although maybe just a big blown out on the tail. Not much you can do with that though within the rules. Very nice! Good luck with the challenge!

Awesome Shot! Awesome detail that you can even see the pollen on the little guy. I think this may be one of the top 3. Good luck with the challenge!!!

Wanna Play Some Catch?

I really enjoy this shot. I like that you didn't just do a super close up of the ball and included the glove as well. Very nice. I can see this hanging on the wall in a sports bar or some place like that. I also like that you didn't use a brand new ball and used a ball that looks as though it has been used a bit. Good luck and I hope you finish well.

This is really cool. Awesome capture. Really nice clarity for what I am sure was a tough shot to capture to begin with. I really like the way the greys work together and seems de-saturated and the bread really stands out because of it's difference is color. Good luck with the challenge!!!

This is a really cool effect using ordinary objects. The lighting is very nice. I'm wondering if this is actually 2 or one set up against a mirror? Good luck with the challenge!

This is really a cheerful shot. The colors really make this a joy to look at. I may have used just a little smaller aperture but to increase DOF just a bit but it works either way IMO. Good luck with the challenge!

WOW! This is definitely one of my very favorites for the challenge. I think this will be top 3. I̢۪m hoping anyway. Excellent focus and great DOF. Super sharp feel to this shot. Makes me want to run and get my glove. Good luck with the challenge!!!
