This is awesome. I can't believe it didn't score higher.

Exit a little slower next time!

Oops! Interesting documentary shot, but it feels a bit like it's been shoehorned into the challenge topic. Maybe if I could see the exit it would work.

One of the best in this challenge. The fisheye really works to show off the exit.

Ducks in the Mists

I like the composition and misty feel a lot, and I don't think it would work without the duck in the foreground (at least not for a wildlife challenge). But it's disconcerting that the duck in the foreground is so soft while the rest is nice and sharp.

Excellent use of DOF go get the birds to stand out.

I keep coming back to this one, because I think there's the start of something really good here. The roughness and texture of the water makes it look really cold and foreboding. But the treatment is just too dark, the head, neck, and chest of the duck just disappear into black. I think I would have gone with a square crop, too, to get the duck more into the middle of the frame, instead of swimming out of it.

Darn, I thought this was the best of the challenge, even with the dust. Congrats on the 6th!

Nice. Much more interesting than all of the matches against black background shots.

Second attempt.....

Awwww, poor guy....get that woody some prozac!

I really like the directional lighting, it does a good job of emphasizing woody's depression (I can't believe I just wrote that). But I'd change the direction a bit to bring up the light on the "rope" and matches. It took a sec for my eye to notice them, so I didn't understand the title at first.
