I see perspective not leading lines. Great photo though. I love the b/w.

interesting shot, but the lines don't lead to a subject or point of interest... - setzler

Great, great fun. I can't decide if he looks more like a dog or the Pringles man....8/10 Could you have got the rest of his tongue in the frame ?

Everyone would agree that the color meets the challenge without dispute. The color is rich and vibrant and is well lit, and exposed. The surface appears to be shiny, yet you've handled any glare quite well.
This is certainly abstract, and you've got 'em all guessing, with no one being able to identify your subject.
As others have said, it isn't very interesting. There are no compelling elements that make one want to explore further. It's all laid out clearly, but no identifying marks. perhaps if you'd included more of the item, it would have proved more interesting.
Regards,

CC Hi zadore.

Fits The Challenge-Yes very well.
Composition-Nicely shot.
My Opinion-I think you have an interesting, different way of seeing an average everyday objects. I like that and like your work.
Unusual take on things like this abstract view of a jungle gym.
I look foreword to your next shots.
Keep up the good individual work.

Hey! Very nice shot.
The frame works well with this. Composition is good. I actually like the square crop and the placement of the bear within the frame. If there were a way to move the bear closer and angle the roses so that they are on a different plane, then it might be worth trying.
Focus is good. It's a very clear, crisp image. The black and white with the red works to create a classic, professional looking shot.
Lighting is good. There is a bright area on the bear's face that has lost some detail and the shadows on the left side of the roses and the side of the bear's ribbon are too dark, but fill lighting could be tricky. I really like the drama created by this lighting setup - the tonal range is great - so I'm not sure it's worth the tradeoff.
High quality shot with no distractions. Nice, seamless background. I don't think you could take a much better shot of this subject.
There is something a little sad about the photo. The desaturation along with the wilted roses suggest a bitter sweet sort of love. If this were on a card, I'd expect it to say I miss you.
Great shot although I'm a little surprised that it got the high score it deserves just because it is a stuffed animal.
