Cop or hitman???
Nice macro, great details. A little hot in a couple places, but that is very difficult to control. Nice shot.

This is the only photo that made me laugh out loud. I give it a 9 for that, although the DOF, lighting, focus, and detail are all excellent. I just wonder who is your customer???

I love this image, but I'm having a difficult time convincing myself that it meets the challenge. Great idea and beautiful colors.

From a distance anyway.

I love cloud shots (in fact, my entry is a cloud shot this challenge). I really like the composition here, and the moon in the center is a huge bonus, and actually 'makes' the shot! I see some red/purple/green/bluish artifacts in the midtones and in the blues of the sky. This is a tough situation to get rid of, especially with the 'no spot-editing' rule. The best I have been able to do is desaturate the reds, greens, and magentas, and to lower the saturation on the yellows (not all the way). I then run the despeckle filter, then an unsharp mask. I believe this is all legal, and it's the best combination I've come up with to clean up cloudscapes. Nice shot and good luck! smellyfish1002

This is one of my favorites this week. I was wondering why the thumbnail image looked blurry, now I know. Very interesting image, I am assuming you rotated the original 180 degrees. I'm trying to find the start of the cows feet opposite the reflection, but I can't find them! Nice color in the water. Well done.

Excellent lighting and focus. The background is a little distracting, though.

Nice use of DOF.I would have liked to see a little more light on the mouthpiece. Nice angle.. kind of an uncommon approach. I like that. JD

Green Cheese

Sorry, but not a lot going on here in my opinion. I would have given a higher score if you had placed the object off center. I am assuming this is the moon, but there isn't enough detail to confirm that. If it is the moon, that's a whole lot of green cheese!

BB's

Your focus and clarity is excellent in this shot, and I like the bluish tone instead of a brassy or copper tone. It is a nice macro, but is missing something in developing interest. Maybe something mixed in with the bb's... Maybe a red ball orsomething that would stand out and break up the pattern a little. JD
