Out of focusand senseless. Why do I like it? For the reasons stated beforehand and it made me smile. Good luck!

a strange image perhaps a bit outside of the common perception. a bit of overexposition and a lot of white points on the background that you could clone out because are clearly dust. 7

I think that if you could have got a face shot of him/her in that light with that great background blur you may have had a winner.

Interesting vantage point, and the dappled light effect is a good one. Might have cleaned up some noise...

I certainly wouldn't have thought of this shot! It's interesting though...in a dog butt kind of way.

What a unique photograph - most people would have the head in focus! Great shallow depth of field.

It's a good thing you didn't show the rest although it looks like you cropped the image so you got mooned. hahaa

I am truly sorry, but snakes and snails and puppydog tails do not "do it" for me.
