I've never noticed this one before, but now that I've discovered it, you can guess why I have to add it to my faves :-)

You trounced me in this challenge, Barry! Something about this photo seems eerily familiar :>)

I scored this high in this challenge. I like the tones and the DOF. I thinkit says something, more than many of the others. Can't figure out what others didn't see...

Great idea and title. This could have been great if the overall focus was sharper and also there were more contrast between the jigsaw pieces and the background.

The pieces get fuzzy as the viewer looks down the print, even though it is a kool idea

While I like the toning of the capture, the blurred foreground is a bit distracting to me. I do like the shallow depth of field, I'd just prefer that the focus was more toward the from than the dead center of the photograph. Very interesting shadows and great texture.

nice picture, I like the color of the pieces on the table; matches the mood, I wish the focus could have extended farther toward the edge of picture (less blur on top and bottom edges), but overall I like the simplicity and the perspective, nice work
