Well this dramatic shot certainly meets the main criteria of this contest.

The close up capture ability of mart phones is phenomenal. This shot is a perfect example. All aspects of this marvelous shot is in excellent focus and the water drops are stand out sharp.

This is super fine interpretive photography, well done... Bob

Oh yes, I see what you mean about the squirrel- or even a hungry piglet! I really like the composition and the way it fills the frame. It's an original image showing a creative mind.

    Thanks Christine, I think outside the box most of the time, which often gets me in trouble but it makes me happy :D

I guess I see the " squirrel, eating the pumpkin" in this image. The close up shot of the orange trumpet, vine's flower, is lovely. I like that you can see the raindrops so clearly. There's so many things that you could imagine in this image, if you tried. It's nice to see all the details of the flower petals- the veins and all. Nice work

    Thanks Jewell. My crazy brain sees faces everywhere, it's apparently a thing called pareidolia. Its ok if you don't see the squirrel as long as you enjoyed the photo, that's what's important. Thanks so much for your review.

It is quite evident that you just love the umbers and oranges. This is a beautiful capture of this vine blossom and its seemingly novel approach to what it is. Thank you for sharing, very well presented and thank you for sharing. Ray

    Thanks Maureen, it's just a really close up of a flower that I thought looked like a squirrel eating a pumpkin. I didn't really do much except bump up the contrast. Thanks for your review.

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! That is definitely a squirrels head in there. I see lots of grey squirrels every morning in our garden in England. Only joking about the head though! Nice shot, good notes!!

    Thanks Nik, I didn't see it when I took the picture, I was just zooming in for a close up. Once I looked to make sure it was in focus, I started laughing and a lady walking by game me a funny looks, oh well, I was amused. Thanks for the review.
Comment from Glena Jessee-King


This is a fine capture of a flower with lovely rain drops. I looked and looked at first, expecting to see a squirrel. Looks like a macro of whatever, kind if scary if you see the eyes and a pig's snout in the middle like I do. Yet thanks for the comments and photograph.

    Lol.. thanks Glena, I do see a pig too but thought the billowed sides looked like squirrel cheeks so went in that direction. I laughed when I saw the image and a lady that was walking by, gave me a funny look. She obviously did not see what I saw. Thanks for looking and the nice review.

    You are most welcome, artist friend Lisa.

OMG! Frankly speaking, I did believe it and was wondering how you managed to get near the squirrel.:):) It is always nice to see alternate approaches. I like your out-of-the-box creation. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks Sesha, when I saw what looked like squirrel face, I knew that I had to submit that one. I took a bunch of shots but this one definitely had character. Thanks for your review.
