Roz, I kinda liked the llamas but I thought the technicals were a bit weaker than this one, which is a great image with a lovely degree of subtlty - Was a bit worried this might have got hammered in voting and really glad it wasnt (even moreso now I know its one of yours). Lovely and clever picture (and no DQ!!!!!!)
awesome find (or idea?) but horrible bokeh! The far back has great color, but the near background is unpleasing...
Boy, I sorta sound like a jerk there - ha ha! I really dug those background colors & the shadow, but for whatever reason, my eye was fixated on those red highlights & box-blur nature of the bokeh here. Hey, I still voted a 5 on it (better than a lot in this challenge - let's just say I generously used both ends of the voting spectrum...). I think all those little bits made the image a little too busy for me - this would be an excellent candidate for selectively softening while adding heavy doses of dodging/burning to get the composition down to it's core imagery.
