Ages ... nice/different approach.
Sharp ... yeah, well focused on the sharp bits.
Hi Tim
On age I would play around with the cropping, the curve bit on the left does not fit in with the rest of the image.
Sharp Teeth, I find the foreground object strange as it appears to have a similar patten to the cats.

Hi Tim,
Age - A different take on the theme well spotted I may have been tempted to crop the top off as the light is a little distracting
Sharp - I like that the OOF rock in the foreground adds a nice base to the image for me I wouldn't want to be anywhere near those teeth come feeding time!
Age(ing) - Interesting take on the theme, just not to sure the composition works for me. but I expect you where limited as to what you could do.
Sharp - those teeth look very sharp, I can't fault this image at all.
Hi Tim,
Age - Fits the theme, but sorry, for the me execution is a bit off. It seems to tilt to one side and the reflections are very off putting. I may have tried for something tighter and shallower, but if you only had the wide f/4 with you, that wasn't an option.
Sharp - Spot on You'll be challenging @Cobra for his gob shot crown !!!
Anyway, nicely sharp with some lovely background blur.
I feel an 'icy' kinda theme going on here - anyone would think we'd had loads of ice and snow
Both nice entries - very thick ice on both
I would have said for the second one - 'an abundance of blue cast' though
Hi Tim,
Thick - Nicely exposed, on theme. My only suggestion here would be perhaps a bit more DoF so that the whole of the subject is sharp. Dunno though, it's your artistic choice.
Abundance - I like the use of the blues in this, it gives it a really cold feel. Nicely sharp throughout the whole of the important parts of the image.
Two for one! Great shots of ice and snow!
Certainly an abundance of ice and quite topical as we have have a lot of that in the UK right now, looks a bit blue on my monitor.
Age - spot on for the theme
Sharp - great capture nicely focused on the face which one won I wonder.
Thick and Abundance - both very topical and fit their themes I like thick better of the two
Thick - on theme and white balance looks ok for the image.
Abundance - fits the theme, lovely image and i dont mind the blue cast. I think it adds a little interest to the image.
Tim Thick, not as clean as I would have liked.
Abundance, while the blue adds to the image, I feel there is just a bit too much.

Loving your Abundance of ice, what a find! .... looks a but blue tho! A levels tweek?
Abundance - Nice composition, i like the icicles and the mound at the bottom of the shot, but I too find it all a tad blue.
You've certainly had it cold Tim. I love the abundance shot, contrary to most of the others I like the blue. Makes me cold just looking at it
Actually, compared to the fellow she looks positively light.
Challenging light, presumably quite a bit of movement to contend with and I'm guessing from the size of the image, quite a bit of distance too. Without being able to zoom in further it seems sharp (though I'm not sure). I'm surprised you were able to get a 1DX in (I'm assuming you weren't press).
Good use of the 2.8 to get the skaters separated from the background like that
Thank you George!Heavy shot works really well for me Sir, good timing & very well captured and presented.
George.
