Unusual cat in a great setting.

I hate snakes. Makes my skin crawl, but good photo.

Texture of the skin and composition make this one excellent.

The eyes are stunning. Cool cat.

I'm glad that I don't live in that neighborhood. Looks like a rough gang. A toothy thumbs up.

A little over-sharpened in hi res.

He has a hospital bracelet on! Did he have to be admitted after the ordeal? Charming photo.

In my opinion,the photo would have had much greater impact (for this contest anyway) if the background trees were cropped away, leaving her more prominent in a tangle of twisted wood. Very beautiful photo of a very beautiful girl.

A little white balance to remove some of the red would be a big improvement. Great eyes and expression.

Wonderful concept, but I do wish that the pencil was in better focus.

Can you confirm that no pencils were harmed during the taking of this photo?

Beautiful girl! Excellent photo. Her eyes are, indeed, captivating.

The background is quite distracting. Would have been much better with a simpler one.

Colorful and original.

Impressive effect.

Quite bizarre, but interesting. I had to check out the SBS to understand what happened.

I wish that I had a chess set like that! Very nice.

Those are quite amazing feathers. Great detail. Great effect.

Nice front yard. Great photo.

Quite amazing that it would show so well. Good job.

Still trying to figure out how you did that!

I see seven.

Took me a while, standing on my head upside down. Very weird and interesting shot.

The light starring makes this one quite special. Very nice.

Original and funny, even though the subject matter is not. Great take on the theme.

In the kitchen with a knife.

OOOh, nice!---- C.S.I.- Pxleyes.

Wonderful! Amazing eyes.

Love the mood.

Oh Dear, you stole my thought! A definite lack of beavers around here, too. Now what do I do? We have so little options for a subject.

It would be greatly improved with a straight horizon. Looks very inviting.

Looks purple to me, too.

I think that he is seriously motoring with his mainsail up..

Captivating. She speaks to me.

Quite amazing formations, excellent lighting and wonderful photo.

Horizon needs leveling. With water shots especially, my eye goes straight to the crooked horizon.

A straight horizon line would also be nice.

What we won't do for a photo entry! I hope that it wasn't an heirloom.

Nice shot, but not a lot of green.

You are right. It is very beautiful in detail. Good entry.

Centered maybe, but not leveled. I have a thing about crooked horizons and crooked pictures on the wall. Drives me nuts.

A crop from the bottom of the photo up to the waist would center the head in the photo and get rid of the blown out whites in the lower part. Just a suggestion.

I gather that the dandelion turned into a spider. That is magic! Really good spider.

It's a lovely photo, but I can't exactly figure out what it is. Other than a handle, it doesn't look like any bag that I have ever seen. No criticism, just curiousity.

I like this one. It almost looks like a little stick man. Good light and focus.

Go to MY STUFF/MY CONTEST ENTRIES. There you will see all of your entries and there is a button there to edit so that you can reload the revised photo. The edit option is there as long as the contest is still open.

Wonderful architecture. Beautiful photo.

Why do so many of the good ones turn out to be yours? Most impressive eye and technique.
