Wow, Rachel -- this is easily one of my favorite photos of yours in this 50 day mini-challege. The only thing that would improve it would be if the white background on the upper left was more like the bluish bokeh on the right (the white sort of bleeds into the frame). However, that's a minor quibble about a great shot. I really like the clarity and the white outlining on the leaves, and the different blues in the back and the blurred foreground shadows.

Referring to your day 35 blog, I think you made a great choice to choose this image to compete in the fair! I so love this image, and I hope it fares well in the competition!

Fantastic shot! I know how difficult these shots are, having worked at many observatories and struggled to get good images of the telescopes inside a lowly lit dome :-) This image is particularly nice because you've really captured coppery colored metal structure over the turquoise dome interior -- it looks awesome!

He is so darn CUTE!!! Such an excellent capture, great clarity and color! I've never seen a baby possum, they are definitely cuter than the full-grown variety :-)

Excellent lighting! So nice how the kids are surrounded by golden grass, looks almost magical! And, what a fitting end for those meal toys :-)

I can see cooking an Ewok but I don't even know what a Gungan is! I'm so out of touch...
