Great focus on the camera, with the foreground and background blurred.

Nice work, but it needs some sort of background to give it more of a "party" feel. At present, it's just a painted up girl.

The lighting of the hand is inconsistent with the light source of the moon.

Wonderful contrasts and detail!

She's got one heck of an "outie" belly button!
Nice capture.

Really nicely done, great effect!

Never too young to start!

Interesting effect with the reflections.

Very nice photo. Good lighting values, with the brights and darks not "blown out," level, and good overall balance. Well done.

This has a somewhat "Creepy Clown" effect, nicely done.
What were your camera settings when you took this? That might have effected the grainy focus look.

The smoke brush would look more effective if the newspaper looked like it was burning somewhere. As is, there is no real source for the smoke.

Very creative. I like the depth of the "waves," and the "wrinkled" background gives this a nice touch!

Nicely done. Love the transparent effect of the ball.

Really nice, it's a shame you cut off the bottom of bird's foot and the landing perch.

The contrast, combined with the extreme angle, visually drag this down onto the left side. Cropping a bit of the white upper right corner to near the top of the street lamp will better balance this by giving that round shape more dominance, helping to pull the image into better unity.

Really nice photo. Great contrasts and good focus. Well done!

Great back story behind this photo! The photo tilts down to the right a bit, if you level it, it will be a visually stronger entry.

Nice capture. I think at his age, Arnie doesn't worry about his erratic putting, he just plays for fun. If he was using that hockey stick, it's no wonder his putting was erratic...

Very nice composition. Good balance of values and colors.

Great lighting on the burgers!

Smooth camera motion, well done.

Really good capture!

Very nice focus and sharp colors.

The contrast looks a bit washed out, the sky has no color at all.

The combination of sharpie and colored pencil really gives this an interesting contrast. Good job!

Interesting effect, good imagination!

Really interesting effect of the boat against the skyline. Nice work!

There is a dark outline around the edge of the baby, and a white outline around the edge of the book. Other than those two somewhat noticeable errors, this is a very nice chop.

The light spot in the lower left hand corner is a bit ditracting, but a nice smoke capture.

Nice SIMPLE invert job, author. I'm pretty sure this invert would fall under "Color adjustments/shifting, so I wouldn't worry too much. It's a very effective photo, giving the smoke an almost sensual look. Well done!

This came out really well. I like the "solid" effect!

The edges on the side look very crude and poorly done, with an odd, jagged effect that does not correspond with the rest of the image, and extreme blurring which does not match the harsh jagged edge.

Cute idea, but the technical execution needs work.

Fabulous color and clarity, I feel like I could reach out and touch it. Very well done!

This is so cute! I'd suggest cloning out the artifacts at the top of the lenses - the white and orange squares, and the small "swoosh" mark on the left. They are distracting from an otherwise adorable chop.

This photo is somewhat worse than the other. Now the woman with the "light ladder" from her shoulders is even MORE prominent in the photo, and the couple are almost dead centered, with the ladder lady as an accent...You would have done better cropping the other photo...

Nice job, except the hair is too dark. If you can make it look more sculpted, this will be a very strong chop.

Really wonderful colors. Very cozy and inviting looking.

Like the painting,"Ce n'est pas un pipe," is this still a chair if you cannot sit on it???

Nice find!

The top of the bench is too aligned with your horizon line. This would have been stronger if you had been able to shoot from a bit lower angle.

Boy, I'd hate to stumble into that during the night...

Great job, the toppings and the cheese strands came out well, and the crust looks very good!

Very nice contrast!

Not very original for a tagline...

Very imaginative. Nice chop.

This is such a well done and funny shot!

The background is distracting from the beautiful hands.

A bit too pink in tone. A warming filter, or adjusting the reds through Hue and Saturation, Selective Color, or Curves, would strengthen this entry.

Much improved! The tagline is now uncluttered and effective. Good job with the SBS, too.

Clean, simple, to the point. Well done!

A bit too blue, the leaves look very unnatural, but a great concept!
