it looks like it might be a flame of some kind!

much better........

good effort, but the lighting needs looking at, there are some bad shadows low in the shot.

nice macro

excellent!........what settings did you use for this.

This shot has been deemed to be 'on topic' by a mod, so let's just look at it in an artistic and technical way, the way we should look at it, and vote on it.........not so difficult is it!!

I love your cynicism kyricom..............lol.

thinking outside of the box.........nicely executed author.....

in my country, cyprus, such trucks do not exist because of the dust, and the drivers are too darned lazy to clean them......

it is a skeleton of sorts, but as far as this contest is concerned, I think this is ot, as it looks more like discarded trash......imo.

I think you might find that is because of the angle of shoot!

excellent replacement, well done.............g/l

great capture by the way.........you don't see this everyday

hahaha..............pmsl......

so it might be, but not in this shot.........it is dark and lifeless!

are there three different emotions here..........this is a parade, where everyone is supposed to be in a happy mood, and it looks that way here.

three emotions?

no disrespect author, but this looks staged and flat! there is nothing here which suggests mouthwatering, no smoke, juices, flames........the bbq does not even look like it is alight........very disinteresting....and out of focus

better..........

sorry author, but this does not shout mouth watering to me.......it is a little dull, the lighting could have been much better, and the it lacks color.

ok, just what are we looking at here........is this in a lab, or a candy store, or a joke store........where!

I hope that tastes better than it looks..........for a cafe prepared breakfast, the presentation is not so good.......

indeed, that is true, but in this shot, it looks like the tide is rolling downhill......you need to straighten that horizon author!

a picture of a pelican is not really a representation of this, imo

I would have been surprised if this did not get into the contest, it is probably one of the most famous laws that we learn in school......good effort

what is this representing?

the animal looks like it has still skin on it

I still don't see three obvious emotions here!

why the spider...............

agrees...........the glass should be the main point of focus, not the guitar, and the glass is out of focus, and very blown out too.........along with the hand holding it.

good effort, though the focus could be better.

and choose a better bg for the subject, one not so busy!

This is perfectly on topic, compound leaves have more than one leaflet, usually several, attached to the same leaf stalk. The entire stalk with all its leaflets come out of the same bud in the spring. The entire stalk and its leaflets will usually fall off in autumn.

good effort, but I am not sure I agree with the dof, the subject itself is oof.

thinking outside the box............nice macro, well done..........

agree with that...the background is quite busy, if the f stop was larger, then it would have softened it and so it would not have appeared so dominating.

what do you drink it with, it looks so thick.

this is a beverage?

Congrats on your 3rd, well done.

Congrats on your 2nd, lovely shot!

Congrats on your 1st, very well done.

A well deserved first, congtrats to you.

Congrats on your second place........well done.

Congrats on your third, a great shot.

Superb composition........very well done.

magnificent...........I hope you don't need this..................

it would be good if you put this info in the description, as it is not obvious!

the hi res shows a subtle amount of the 'lash' stuff, I don't know what is called either...............lol, but it is there.

that's a serious looking disease you have there maestro.........better get it checked..............

mmm, nice idea, but there is not much paint here..........just light!....ot imo!
