a pinwheel

generally I like this very much. I like the idea, composition, and lighting... but there's something about the skin texture that doesn't seem quite right

Nice reflection, but cropped just a little close

Fun shot... dolphin on its side

a yarn monster?

yep

a flange

Nice shot. Pencil leads?

Cool spider... he looks shaggy

Much better

I love these things

Ground beef (not lean)

Lobster

Nice... but it doesn't look empty

Flower? VERY cool shot whatever it is.

Looks like fish, or frog's eggs

If you look closely at the part in focus at 400% magnification you can see that it's woven. Cool shot, author. The greenish background helps a lot too

I'm with the others. This is extremely nice, although I would crop a little off the top and the left to de-center the bug and to de-emphasize the shadows from the petals. great shot, though!

Out of the mouths of babes... Given your parents' participation in the resistence, I'm sure your mom was mortified by her little girl's comment. But your parents could certainly take pride in having the fortitude to actually stand up to such evil

Very nice, just wish it was a bit de-centered

I love sun dials

Nice clock, but the lighting is a bit off

I kind of like the visual aspect of this - but I have a question for you mods. This question has NOTHING to do with this entry per se, but it is a good example of what I'd like to know and an opportunity for (my) education. Here it is - given the new rules on "dodging and burning," would it be possible to dodge and burn over the date in this entry (for example), just leaving the time, and still be within the rules?

To be clear - I am NOT saying the date is a problem on this entry (like when they are there from the camera). I think it was on the clock so it's fine.

Maybe an old bathtub left outside? (could use a high res, please)

Cymbols

Moss

Looking up at a padlock

The metal wheel of a wheelbarrow

They look like pot lids (that need to be cleaned very badly)

stalagtite, or stalagmite

You're BOTH wrong! It's obviously the trail left by the Tooth Fairy!

Good guess, cabldawg... I'd think they are the pine cone weights for a clock too

looking up at wind chimes, or blinds. (nice shot)

Looks like my house every year

cool pool... where is that?

Nice shot... but he needs a cigar sticking out the left side.

Nice... I like the de-centering and the DOF

Strange... it doesn't look like he's made of wood

No, sorry... "as stated" - "you can not eat the object." That phrase changed a lot of potential entries. Absolutely none of the other ones have anything edible. You can obviously eat an egg. Sorry, author, this one shouldn't be allowed either

Very nice... we can only imagine what those hands have seen

I'm with friiskiwi... I was going to do this shot, but didn't because you can obviously eat eggs. Nice shot, though

Like the henna. Looks great

Very nice. This one looks like it actually took advantage of the theme goal

Hrmmmmm... do you live near Calavaras County?

THAT is great! Same species and everything.

Nice Bull Elk. Those things sound so spooky when they call. They're cool

Looks more like a croc or a caiman than an alligator... but nice shot

Beautiful animal - nice shot

Pretty funny

Great shot. Largest mammal in North America (at least the bulls are). Very impressive to see in person
