Only giving out one ten in the entire challenge. This is it.
Reminds me of the famous Pulitzer prize photo by Kevin Carter. After seeing this image, I immediately lowered every other photo by one because this had to be the sole 10 in the challenge.

There's something simply compelling about this image. What will his future hold? I don't know, but it looks bleak.

I might have titled it something different, but that's irrelevant.

#1, tied with another.
How can I not give props to my teammate? Seems right.
Actually, this is the style of portraiture, along with what Paul does, I'm hoping to emulate before throwing my own twist on things.

High-Five

I was your only ten. Thought this was really cool. Didn't really like the vignetting, but capturing the high five from a moving vehicle meant I didn't care about the editing so much.

Nice capture.
Is the grain a PP effect or an ISO limitation? I really like it on this image, but could be distracting on other.

You thought mine was good?
This is infinitely better. It was one of my two 9s I gave out this challenge. I could just picture some clueless chap dropping off some rubbish and completely missing the leg sticking out of the dumpster.

I guess combined we've shown awesome ideas get shat on.

I would put this in my top 25 I've ever seen on this site. Don't ask for exact placement because that fluctuates, but this is fantastically interspectacular.

Because the average voter is a tool.

Why's that immature? I'm confused.

What he said.
I was one of your 7's. There were a couple of entries I thought were better, but this was getting into my top tier categories. I just assumed hidden wires to illuminate the bulb, but that was irrelevant. You were asking people to think, and that's a mistake on your part. If you simply assumed everyone was an imbecile, I'm sure you would have done better.

Keep images like this coming because it was well done.
