my choice for best of show. Wonderful tones, great composiition, I love that spooky feel to the cloudy background. Almost surreal, like an etching. Just love it. 10

First round draft pick.

Nice depth of field, but I think that you do lose a little detail in the forward arm. A very striking shot. I might have cropped to preserve the forward hand (do gorillas have hands or paws?), and given up some of the wall behind. Nice job. 7

You framed this very nicely, and printed dark without losing alot of detail. Very nice capture, one of the best in show. Good luck! 8

I like your depth of foild, but I like my a darker black and white print. I like the crop very mush. One of the best in show. Good luck. 8

Stronger than Steel

An extremely nice capture and placed well agaist what I assume is a created background. If that is the case you did a great job of selecting to isolate your subject, and a great job of color selection. I am distracted by the gray stripe to the left of the bud. My is pulling left. But, your framing is tall and skinny to begin with, so for tighter cropping you would have had to take some off the bottom as well, and lost some of your yellows in the bud. But, thant-s what I would have done. Great post. 8

very creative, and a well executed studio shot. A really hope that your can is something that you bought in a novelty store, and not something that you digitally created. There will be another week of debates in the member forums. Good luck to you. 8

What a great shot. I hope it does well. I like the blur of the jumprope, the expression the childs face, the crop (and I don't usually like tall skinny crops), the light, and the slin tones. Nice post. 8

A ribbon winner in my book. Wonderful macro and great depth of field. Perfect choice for the challenge theme as well. 9
