Tully:  I love the dog's expression, it says it all.  Getting down on
his level was the way to go, because it did what the mandate asked for
and that was the dog's "point of view".

Alienjones:  It isn't showing the mermaid's point of view, and I think
that's what you were shooting for.

Bowser:  Very cool creative-wise!  This shot met the mandate
perfectly. Excellent work.

Tom Gabriel:  Living in Toronto as well I automatically recognized the
TTC.  How was your couple of days when they went on strike last
weekend?!
Great idea, but I would have gotten more of the window frame in to
give more perspective on where you're looking from.

Ken Nadvornick:  One can always count on Ken for technical
excellence.  Those razor sharp objects, rich tones, with exposure spot
on shows the viewer the photographer's technical expertise.  I agree
with Tully.  This speaks of dignity, truth and integrity.  There is no
need for huge fanfares to have patriotism in the heart.

Wilba:  An interesting point of view from someone or something looking
down at you from either a tree or some place high.  Very sharp, but
it's your eyes that make the whole pic.

Paul Furman:  I agree with Tully in that it's hard to shoot through
thick layers of glass.  But you pulled it off with good results.  Good
point of view from an airplane or eagle's eyes in flight.

Rich Pos:  A customer's point of view at a bar.  Good idea, but I
would have had someone's arm extending out from the foreground,
holding the glass as the bartender was pouring.  It would have really
enhanced the point of view of the customer.

Doug Jewell:  I can see what you're saying, that your point of view is
an "opinion" rather than vision. Beautiful blue sky and puffy white
clouds really make the pic stand out for me.
An interesting interpretation of POV.

Walter Banks:  I think Doug said it right when he suggested some sort
of foreground to suggest point of view.  A potentially great landscape
shot, just a tad soft.

Jim Kramer:  I notice his/her right eye being the sharpest, focus
wise.  Point of View from a cat's eye?  Lovely cat.

Bret:  I thought Bret's submission showed great creativity and
technical merit.  I particularly like how the escalator is the center
of the subject, surrounded by black tones and dark shadows, it gave a
sense of sadness in an impersonal automatic/mechanical world that we
live in.

BTW:  Thanks Tully for your comment on my image.  It's greatly
appreciated.
