I love the riples in the water! The reflection of the dolphin and the shades of blue and purple. I'm not overly fond of photos of cute toys, but this one is well thought out and executed. 8
I like the composition, the waves, the colors and the flare/drops behind the little guy. The clarity is great also. It's a good inventive shot. Imo, what could be improved is the glare on the water and to a lesser extent the hot spots on the bludolph. Some ways of controling the glare: use a circular polarizer, place some material between the light sorce and the water or if they don't work, clone them out on ps. Still, I do like it enough to give a 7.
Outstanding and "happy" photo, just great, maybe a ribbon photo. It isn't often that plastic toys are good motives IMO, but here it works out great and I think it's one of the best in this challenge.
I really, really like this and I'm not sure why. The water looks awesome, especially with the purple cast over it. Anyway, great focus, cool subject, and weirdly awesome. 9.
I like the 'water' and background color, it's very funky and stands out. The creature is very cute, good color, no light reflections, and is nicely sharp. The light flare just above his/her head almost looks like thought bubbles. Composition is good too. I like it, it's cute and quirky.
