These eyes do not "say" despair to me...they look focused, interested, maybe like they are studying or something but they definitely do not look in despair. Maybe if you included something about why this individual is in despair it would help understand better.

Sorry...doesn't feel at all like despair to me! Nice shot though.

This feels more like shame to me...not sure why. I guess I have no idea what the subject is in despair about.

The Yellow Torpedo

Very adorable child. Nice, refreshing subject! I know that some people in this challenge think that the photoshop manipulation with desaturating all other colors is overdone but I think it's really fun and think that this would be a great photo to try like that with the sled color being yellow, everything else b/w.

Lemon Egg

Comment:
At first I hated this...I thought it was really gross but after looking at all the other lemon shots, I liked this for the originality involved. Now I find it rather humorous. I'm not crazy about the reflection in the yolk but other than that this is a really well executed shot. I don't like the framing choice but I can't think of a better option right now...Maybe some color. I think I'd try a complimentary color...blue or perhaps a blue violet frame.

Really interesting image. This was really refreshing after looking at all the lemon and flower shots! Thanks!!! More focus is all this needs to be a real winner! Maybe a little less sky at the top?

Yellow Eyes

One of the few cat shots in this challenge that I really appreciate. I like the way you cropped the kitties face. Could have been really great if you had gotten a more symmetrical shot.
