Very nice sgatanstu! I love the definition in the zoomed view. New gear?
Perfect exposition and a lovely portrait.

Funny, without looking at the contestants for this H2H I knew this was you because of the background bokeh. Must be a flower held in front of your window? Very pretty!

What an interesting angle and how perfectly executed. Sharp as a knife, love it! It it were mine I would have changed the color of the yellow lines into a darker shade of yellow/orange. But that is just me. Gorgeous!

Nice vertical lines and spot on focus! Great use of dof.

Very pretty composition, almost according to the golden mean. Good color balance and exposition. My problem with hands in photos is normally that they are ugly from close up, but these fingers and nails are very pretty. Very well done. I am afraid you happened to run into the wrong opponent, but let`s wait and see. Good luck!

Mhh, a rose and a gun. Wonder who is who... :)

Strong, dark composition with just the right amount of dof. Love the red element connecting the face with the gun. And everything from just the right angle. Close to perfection!

Two very nice, and in my eyes, almost equally Worthy images. I scored yours slightly lower because the bottom right corner is getting a bit too abstract for me because of the DOF. Still, love it!

Two very nice, and in my eyes, almost equally Worthy images. Very interesting angle and just the right amount of DOF. Very well executed. The dubble trick on the border is a bit too much for me, but you won`t loose points over it (from me, anyway).

Interesting story and nice selective desat. Not a big fan of that, but it works fantastically here.

The whole thing seem to be a bit oversaturated, but that could be exactly how you wanted to portrait this. Great lines and lighting.

What an amazing effect! Perfectly framed and a very sad but strong message. Love it!

What a fantastic portrait of your cat! I love the expression and the contrasting colors of the fur and the eye. Nice leading lines including the ear and the whiskers and perfect use of the rules of thirds. As for DOF, I love how that green leaf turned out, almost radiant. Excellent shot.

Ai bad choice then.. I hope you at least picked the Rose over the Wispa? Congrats on the gold anyway. I went to bed two hours before closing, thinking I had the gold :)

If you paid attention to a recent contest you would know better :)

Great idea. I think you could have made the background (carpet) lighter in the B/W conversion to give the coffee and the reflection more impact.

I love Zappa`s version where he implies that Johnny did not know how to wipe his arse right (now what kind of a ring of fire are we talking about here)
:)

Great shot. This from the guy who`s setting more stuff on fire these days?

Never heard of the song, but what an awesome macro! I would have called it: I believe I can fly, or One day I`ll fly away lol

Great portrait and I love how you shot just for the theme. The lighting on the hands and photo is perfect (as is the photo of the pineapple). The sweater is completely black and lost all structure. Since the rest is so well lighted, I have to think you did that on porpose. Or should I recalibrate my monitor?

Sorry I never got to vote on this contest. I really like this abstract shot and I think it is very underestimated.

Very nice, very clear and generally well done. This is one of my favorites for this contest. I wouldn`t be surprised if you will get a bit punished by the voters for sticking this close to the themepost, though.
