    #1 is very nice, composition is great! I'm also liking #4 Going down, very theme worthyclap.gif

    Small suggestion, you may want to give warning in your title about the snake pic being in there, I know there are some dgrinners (divamum comes to mind) that might appreciate the warning!:D

    What a fun and varied set! I'm a fan of #4, then #1 for the challenge. Like the snake one though for the shivers it gave me. GP

    If I scroll through quickly, the pic that captures my eye the most is #6. I wish there was a little more definition in the bee bottom, but it is a very interesting picture.

    I like 1 and 5 and 7 is very cute too clap.gif

    I think 5 is more attractive because the fish is clearer - I would try to crop the right side to the fish tail and maybe
    relate the title to the idea of forbidden areas... like "don't change environment without proper equipment" - something like this... rolleyes1.gif

    ... or, "don't change rules if you don't know how"... rolleyes1.gif

    Some very nice images. Well done.
    That you have so many makes it tough in itself. Image #1 is just great and would be seriously tough for me to dismiss and move onto considering the others. I do apologize for being unable to provide anything more than that. I'm just too locked into #1

    Sandy, let's recap:

    #1 is good too, but I don't particularly care for those spots (reflections of the window in the mammal or whatever fish it is...)

    #4 is "very theme worthy" but it's not standing out (for me)

    #5 is what I mentioned - btw. you can clean a little the small white dots.

    Now, take a little walk, relax and use your best judgment :)

    I went ahead and entered, otherwise, I'd second guess all night. In #1, the glass was scratched and splotchy and I intentionally didn't fix it - that was part of breaking the rules (to me). The shot isn't perfect.

    Thanks, Tatiana!

    Your entry looks a little different and better though... I like it :)

    Sandi, your entry is great. It's really cute and makes me smile. You have to love an image that makes you feel something. I have a difficult time critiquing with respect to breaking the rules so will leave that to others.

    Thanks, Tatiana!

    Second guessing will almost assuredly lead to third and fourth guessing. Love your current entry.
