Not shot explicitly for the challenge. I predict this is too 'dreamy' to get a very high score.

A very sweet and delicate photo! I would love to call this one my own! Nice DOF and sharpness... good natural lighting! Nice!

Very creative. The bluish area on top is my only criticism. Like the light levels, don't let anyone tell you it's too dark. 8.

NIce lighting, I think the only improvement would have been to shoot it a little closer n, the right side is a bit dark

Good composition, very good use of the branches to draw your attention towards the subject. Also very good use of nice warm lighting -- good to see that used to good effect here. A bit of a shame about the blown out highlights, I would be tempted to underexposed these sorts of pictures as shadow detail can be rescued, whereas highlights cannot. Definitely a case for shooting in raw mode if your camera supports it. Well done.Good luck.

Lovely subject - my only complaint is a bit too much glare from the sun on some leaves. Would like it better if you'd toned some of those down a bit. Still, very nice.
