Love the architecture - at night I could imagine vampires living there

Goal "Show me a COOL shot of something shiny that would distract me or someone like me (scary thought)." ... top marks for distracting not only the theme suggester but everyone else

Perfect

Very nice image - the gel lights haven't done much for her teeth colour though. For your own version, you could selectively fix it easier enough - I don't think if it's allowable for comp entries though.

Nice one author, dropping them so they are all at the same level is an effort in itself

Love the light coming from behind the pens

Very creative

Oh no - the gummy bears have gone leg up... shall we eat them

Yep - I'll take the jelly beans too

I've done a bit of this painting before

I am partial to peacock feathers too

Sweet looking kid. She has chosen her outfit well I reckon

Great shot - great colours!

Beautiful gardens and use of colour

Very nice colours indeed

Looks like they have been sticking their arm out the window to get wood within reach

Wow - you got one sitting still, bet they don't do this often

Sweet capture! Most people think of these little birds as commoners but you have a knack for showing how beautiful they really are.

Do they sell Camels at the Camel Bazar?

I like the sepia tones - suits the subject matter. Only minor quibble is I think it needs a minor crop from the top

ha ha - that's cute. love the egg scale

The 'star effect' can usually be achieved by using a smaller aperture. The image is out of focus though.

I agree with Cache Slinger. Lovely

It appears that you have used excessive noise reduction at the expense of feather detail? I like Khaki Campbells

Azure Kingfisher

They are beautiful but you have blown the highlights on the first bird - see the patch of white that has not detail. As this is the brightest spot in the image, it would be an idea to meter from this area

I just love the try line post - very rustic

Thanks author - that certainly puts it in perspective, no doubt the guys will wonder where the bikini clad players are like on TV

Love the karate ball kicker

Nice image but a bit hard to tell that this one belongs to a team sport

Nice HDR

Lol - love the description

The fact that you have 3 photos and described them as being taken all at the same place destroys the anonymity - just something to keep in mind when you are writing your description in

Perhaps re-dipping the brush for more drips altered it's position - not that it matters

Nice colour too

The light is too dominating in this - also I would have turned the bottle around so that the label was facing

Love it

*hates shoes too

Well done on your attempt. Other than the distracting light, the background is a little busy - I spent longer trying to make out the cigarette in the test tube in the background (reminds me of a year 9 science experiment). Anyway, in my opinion the simple backgrounds work best.

I recognise who drives a red Honda

Simple, uncluttered & well captured

Nicely captured

Nice one

In a sports shot that involves a ball, it is best if you can get the ball in the shot

How unlucky for the catcher - love the dust kicking up.

Nice catch

I guess the title is a football term? Nice, crisp image

There is quite a lot of noise - perhaps run it through noise removal filter?

Awesome, the deep end was sure deep

Love all that peeling paint
