This is kind of sweet, and I like the detail on the bottom of the foot, although I find the picture just a little grainy and the bright strip at the left edge is distracting to me. Very unique though, most of the other baby pictures are "just" baby pictures. You used more imagination, focusing on a specific body part.

Taking The Lead

Great minds think alike? This was the very picture I had in mind to do, but I was away traveling all week and simply didn't have time. Only I wanted to use the more distinctly "Anasazi" beans. Traditional pintos were my second choice. The detail and texture of individual beans is great. no distracting shadows, and even the background is pretty clear. I might have cropped a bit differently to get the sprout a little lower, but I don't know what you had to work with in the original. I don't claim to be an expert, but I like this lots and don't think I could have done better, probably not even as well. This would be a good advertisement for a seed company.

New Forms For Rosy Futures!

This made me smile, although I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche. The title would be effective just by dropping the word new. Unless the "forms" were in fact creamy colored, I think the photo could be lightened up some... on my computer anyway, it shows quite dark. Very original, though, and I like pictures with a sense of humor.

Hopes and Dreams

concept of rings is good, but too much red distracts from the rings... I lose focus on the rings. Also I find the foreground looks blurry... again distracting. I would crop in close on those rings, get great detail there, and let the picture tell the story rather than the title.

Sea Foal

I love sea life, and this shows nice detail and good clarity, especially since it was probably taken through aquarium glass. I like the balance of color. I might have cropped it differently for balance, but of course I don't know what you had to work with for the original. I've had photos that could have been so much better if only I'd been able to crop just a little differently...

Who's New at the Zoo?

Oh, this is cute! Although I really don't like to see the challenge name (new) used as part of the title. Be creative, get out your thesaurus! I do like the picture though, I like everything about it. Good detail, color, balance, etc.

I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche or something. There are lots of other, more creative ways to express it. Actually looks more like a sunset to me, but I know sometimes you get real red skies in the morning too. Good photo but too many "sunrise" type photo's in this challenge.

Just LOOK at this beautiful little creature. I know how hard it is to get a good CLOSE picture of wild life, especially if you don't have a high power telephoto. I'd like to know how long you waited for this shot!

One of the more creative photos of the challenge. I love the lines of the hand and the feel of the photo, but needs a richer background and maybe a little sharper focus.

The birth of.....

An interesting representation on "new"... I'm not sure what the items on the bible at the top right are. The fuzziness of the top left is a bit distracting, but overall, I liked it.
