Boy, Deb, what great colours! This is a great shot from an unusual angle, which I really like. Looks like maybe I ought to get a camera like yours! :-)

Chuckle. For one of your first shots with your new camera, well, you haven't lost your touch. I really like this one, kind of stark and yet hinting at beauty in even the "condemned" species called weeds. Great shot.

Excellent!

I suppose the cheese is "trollsberg" as opposed to "yarlsberg"?

Fit: Epitomises the idea behind the challenge 2

Aesthetics: An exceptional composition/exceptional aesthetics 3
The simplicity of the composition plus the strength that the shadow lends to the composition really makes this for me
Technical: Technically well executed 2
Slight loss of focus on the "tail" of the spine and a little washed out area under the shell hold this back from being near perfect
Wow: Slaps you in face 3
This is one of th best shots of the challenge
