I know what you mean, I like it better today.

lovely photo

Not sure that sepia is the best choice for this image.

Poor baby, he looks abandoned.

wow... that's some flourescent nail polish!

I am not a big fan of this composition for this contest only because the smile isn't first thing you notice in this picture, it isn't the focus. But otherwise, it is a nice photo

lovely

thanks

Author: as per the contest goal: In this contest your goal is to capture a closeup of your favorite bodypart. Others can guess what body part is in your photo, so don't mention it in your title

I would change the title, or you risk having it removed...

Lovely sun rays, but sun seems a little high in the sky to call it setting.

Not too hard to guess... but really nice lighting on this one

I am pretty sure this is a face.

agree

Really dramatic lighting. Nice job.

Love the story here.

Great close-up!

Looks epic, i would have loved a non/less foggy pic.

Cute idea

You are welcome and welcome to this site.

No sorry you can not use same photo twice according to rules of contests

Lovely, would have been good in the Chill out contest too.

I agree with the comments above. There's just not enough color in the banana.

Welcome, I quite agree with rbsgrl, and it's not too late to change the photo, uploading doesn't finish until the end of the week.
You could also consider re-shooting, there is something about the composition that bothers me. Think about the flowerpot being it's side and the writing which is very appropriate is a little disconcerting being upside down.
good Luck

This is a nice image of a tree, for this contest, I feel we need more focus on the water.
It is really hard to judge the quality, try uploading a higher resolution image
Go to MY Stuff
My Contest Entries
Edit entry
and you just need to tick 'Also save full resolution image.'
If your image is already of a good size, over 2MG you won't need to upload a new copy.

BTW, you can edit your photo and resubmit it. Just go to My Stuff then to My Contest Entries under the photo click edit entry and upload your edited one. Be sure to check the hi-res at the bottom of the page.

Welcome to the world of photography! I myself am a beginner and use Picasa sometimes. You should also give the photo some contrast and shadow, you can do this in Picasa. Use the auto contrast button and slide the shadow bar until you get some depth in your photo. I don't like to use the glow as it removes focus and makes your photo soft (it works well on face close up but not much else). Hope this helps! Good luck in your journey!
