This would have deserved to be way higher in the ranking, in my opinion (I gave it 9). The composition is really original and the DoF enhances this idea of a hiding monster. Makes your imagination run. One of my favs for this challenge.
Too many things out of focus. They dont have much of a body, but I think it would help to see it. The out of focus foreground is drawing my eye much more than the legs are. sorry.3
This one has a great sense of forboding and anticipation. I like the contrast from green and black and the textures that can be seen in the leaf and and the legs.
A dandy long-legs? Met the challenge I guess but I would like to see more than just the legs. Focus is ok, as is the color and the unobtrusive background. I wonder what that red spot is?
Fabulous, I must remember this technique in my photos to allow the viewer to use their own imagination by hinting at the subject. Dof is great here. Very humourous. 8
Interesting and different. Tantalising (because I want to see what it is) and frsutrating (because I can't) at the same time. I think the biggest problem is that the front edge of the leaf is blurred - the legs draw your eye to it and its fuzzines is jarring, but if you'd got this in focus, the legs may not have been. Original shot.
