Great focus, I like the b&w choice. Nice entry author, good luck

Nice colors and focus...

My mistake

Could do with a nice hot fire like that here.

but his hands are clean, my opinion

fantastic colours

nice

I would crop a lot of the foreground, to put more focus o the men.

Shouldn't that be "Alpha," or is it short for alfalfa?

Great shot !

I would crop some of the sides.

Great b&w and lights author, one of the best i've seen for this contest!. Good luck

nice one, took me awhile to figure it out.

A painful breakfast. Good luck author, nice image

in my village I had been taught to do it. I want to try again, beautiful pictures

it is makeing me dizzy, good shot

vey clean image,

That's one way to get your daily requirement of iron! Good job!

Nice clean shot, lovely tones.

LOL, the theme did say to make it look less appealing and you succeeded, Perhaps crop it a little closer for all the people who can't be bothered looking at high res.

I think you may have desaturated it a little too much.

Nice idea... but it's a little hard to see the nails etc.

great angle

Good, even lighting and nice blocks of colour.

nice one, great colour and contrast

Much better...one of the biggest things that distract from an otherwise good shot is crooked horizons...just a tip

Beautiful church, but it could stand a bit of straightening, the church leans to the right a tad...

what an unusual looking cat, great shot.

what a beautiful church

Well done, like the saturated colours

well done

Congrats for your first place!

Congratulations on 1st palce

They are Bougainvillea, and they are gorgeous!

Very nice composition, love the lights

My favorite writer, I read almost all his books
Beautiful shot

great pic

great pic

Well done, I loved his early books.

I like all the blue, but the unlevel horizon and the lower-right-corner thing are distracting.

Could also be a giant trident. Shame about the lamp post, though

Nice shot and clarity, but could use a better background

Very colourful

I'd try it... because as a typical American I can't function unless there's English

Gee... I wonder how they got to it before 4x4's

That looks kind of tasty, but you might want to reduce your yellows a touch

much better

Nice lens, the church is on a bit of an angle though, and personally I would like a bit more contrast to give the photo a lift.

Would benefit from a little straightening and some more black above. IMO

Hopefully you filled it with water rather then coke?
