The blurred background looks really badly done, and it's a real distraction, sorry. Most photoshopped blackgrounds do, since the transition is too quick, and doesn't progress going backwards, and it too soft. Also, the characteristics of real blur are not present. If you have Photoshop CS try using an alpha layer to set distances and use the 'Lens Blur' tool for a much more realistic effect.

Feels too over processed for my liking. I guess this is going to fall into the love it / hate it category

My favourite shot in this challegne, predict good things!!

Perfect focus, DOF is amazing. Such a cute shot, good to see 'Asha' with her ears wide open.

Maybe I'd have liked a faster shutter speed to see what she's trying to eat, but think more about it I like the movement too.

Only distracting but, is that a person under her right ear? (Won't effect your mark though!)

Full marks, well deserved! 10


Know it's better than mine :-)

Great shot, you couldn't have done better. I think this will be in the top ten. I like the softness of the background.

This is gorgeous. Great colors.. reminds me of a starburst, or a shot of those little light-wires.. lol.. the name escapes me at the moment.

The smoke puffs are unfortunate. Wonder if you could clone those out somehow.

Beautiful. The blurred background really helps here, and the greens seem to be stronger than the close up. Nice shot.

not much I can add to the other commenters on this one, but it stood out on your portfolio to me, and is a nice photo. You've got a really nice sepia toning.
