I was half expecting someone to do this with a shot from Marineland. I personally don't think the photo is stellar, but the idea is what's elevating big time. I chuckle quietly every time I scan through the thumb when I see this one, so it earned a better mark than the rest.

I've Just Seen a Face

Just love this photo. The face and the reflection are a great juxtaposition against the buildings. I don't know why there'd be a huge face painted there, and that's part of the story.

Personally, I don't like the quality of this image. It's a little grainy and slightly OOF. The person who's back is to us takes up too much space and isn't really part of the photo. All those negatives aside, it's original compared to the rest of the entries so I gave it huge bonus props.

Assuming this is AllenP. Really good find and the expression of the person on the right is what makes this photo. I might have eased up a little on the vignetting, but it's minor to the overall message of the photo.

Something different, so I rewarded it with a higher score.
Better than all the FS'esque photos where people just find a cliche to match their best photo.

The hue is different on both side of the face. The right side looks illuminated with gels or halogens whereas the left side doesn't. I'd either tone down the gel colour on the one side or reflect more of it on the left to balance it out.

Because of the blue background, it actually looks like a hot/cold image with the colour gradient traversing the image.

Without a doubt, my favorite of the challenge. I didn't get your entry for negative space, but this one is so much better.

It's eerie and creepy. Don't know what the ax is for, but I don't really care. Like most of these name your FS entry to the extremely loose challenge description, most entries were boring and derivative, this was not. This was a 180 turn from the rest and deserves a 10.

Without the Humans, Nature Regenerates

This is what I had in mind with this challenge. Instead I took some pictures of nature, but am saving them for a challenge elsewhere. I don't know what the colour version of this photo looks like, but I'd be interested in seeing it.

Normally these abstract photos tank on my keyboard, but this is an exception. I like the chaotic yet orderly mess depicted. In almost any other challenge, I would have pushed this near the bottom. You benefited from my lack of enjoyment of the other entries.

The cliched abandoned teddy bear. So cliched, that you're the only entry who did it. If sock monkey can't survive, what's the point of living?
