This would have been excellent IF it were a true B&W.

For the purpose of this challenge, "wildlife" should be considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians living in a natural environment

The (flash) lighting is a bit harsh and the overhead view makes the setup look too busy. (Just my opinion!)

A GSP? Very cute, regardless. Excellent contrast.

I wish the image wasn't so washed out. Had this been exposed properly I would have scored it a 9. The expression is terrific.

Hat Trick

The second ten in the group. The high contrast, bare arms and sunblocking hats convey the concept of heat very well. Nice work.

Hot Girl Sweats it Out!

The 115th vote in the series and the only ten so far. Excellent portrayal of heat. The subject has an exhausted, sweaty appearance. The reflection and hoop add a lot of interest and helps frame the subject. Excellent work.

This is the 107th photo I've voted on and it's the first one I actually *liked*. I didn't score it very high simply because when I look at it I don't see anything that cries out heat. The word heat is in the title but the image doesn't convey it. If there were perspiration on the subject's forehead and shirt I would have scored it a ten. The black shirts could have shown the perspiration well, too. Excellent photograph anyway. It really tells a story.

If only the foreground were in focus!

Nice concept. Wish I had been this creative. Would have given much higher score if the image were overall 'warmer'.
