Not one of the edgier images in the challenge - many people might feel this is a little safe but I like it a lot so it got a 7 from me.

This shot is beautiful. Great lighting and composition but for me and just my opinion on fine art this doesn't seem to fit. I may be way off and maybe this fits Fine Art really well but for me it doesn't go with what I imagine fine art to be. But it is a stunning photo.

ETA, I have not been fair to this photo as there was a similar shot that I ended up scoring higher after debating with myself and after coming back again to this one I think it only fair to give this a higher score.

6 - Good potential here, but for me, needs a variation in composition and/or cropping - much bolder/stronger.

Just perfect!

Doesn't work in a fine art challenge, unless your interpretation moves into the realm of pop art; in that case, many might enjoy this on their wall. Technically fine. Emotionally empty, for me, anyway. Where is the photographer? In the message, I mean?

This looks very similar in style to the cheetah picture. I'm not really seeing fine art still tho

Very nice detail, but more importantly, very emotive for me. I really like that in an image.

Ohhhh! I love it! I don't know what it is about giraffes, but they have the kindest expressions. They make wonderful fine art photography!

Nice control of exposure. I hope that you post the original color version in the photog's comments. I'd love to see it and I wonder if it would have scored better.
