Long live the Q-Tip King! Fits challenge well. Would like to see more sharpness on the king's, er, crown.

Who knew there could be a king among the Q-tips?
Although it's not a sharp image, I think it fits the subject. Cotton isn't supposed to be hard, so yeah, good job.

Great idea, but the focus is just too soft everywhere to make this a great picture.

I just wish the focus were sharper.

Great idea. Good composition. I feel that the DOF is a tad too shallow with the tip of the cotton bud out of focus... had the whole head been in focus, I think you might have had a winner.
