This is a really great photo of a very ordinary thing.

Great catch, well done.

lovely photo, so gentle

a very pretty ring

This looks so much better, well done.

Beautiful

Love it

A beautiful meaningful photograph. Well done.

Jaws, the author was quite clear about the fact that he photographed it and how.

This is just so very beautiful.

Great shot, and what a great memory.

Thanks, great shot.

This is such a beautiful shot, could we just call it a bad hair day.

perfectly on theme, but what made you take it?

Must be from outer space.

That is ugly, you kind of want to wish for it's recovery

great effect, well done

Interesting filter, Portofino?

sweet

Nice photograph

Beautiful, wonderful light, I just knew it was one of yours.

In my personal opinion, this is a lovely photo, with perfect DOF,
But this is what they asked for;
"The challenge in DOF photography is managing to let the sharpness gradually decrease on each side of the main subject."
I'm confused.

A very beautiful sharp image, but no gradual DOF

lovely image

It's a beautiful photo, but no gradual DOF as was the theme. The flower is perfectly in focus, and everything else very soft. Very well done, but not what was asked for.

Beautiful

Love the colours, but I don't think I would drink the water.

The hIgh res is truly scary

I'm glad you didn't get any closer. what is it?

Try straightening the car a little, and crop so you loose the black lines at the top and on the right.

Congratulations, a beautiful photo.

Congratulations, on 3rd, a beautiful shot.

Congratulations on 1st place, a wonderful scene and photograph, as always.

Offensive, No, but I'm wondering why you call it Ugly?

Thanks, well spotted

This would be so much better if you cropped it a lot closer to the gate.

The 'frame' is more the focus than the 'framed'

Nice

Beautiful

nice framing, perhaps a little too dark.

Nice neigbourhood.

Great shot, and totally unobtrusive.

We have seen this kind quite often, not so stunning anymore, sorry.

Wonderful photo, and I guess you could call it ugly, just hope it wasn't big too.

Kina (Evechinus chloroticus), a yawning fish, not sure of the third member of this photo. Not all that ugly IMO.

great shot

So sad.

Great, the original was pretty spectacular too.

Great effect. looks really good now.

well done, I love that filter.
