You're probably getting crapped on for this one, but I really like it. It's different with a lot of punch. I would have liked to see that needle a lot further to the right.

Clever idea but the image itself is a little flat. Gave it huge bonus points for the idea alone. Dark background, candlelit dinner, lion fur rug, fireplace roaring, ...

When I'm walking down the street, I purposely plow into people who are completely engrossed in their media. Here I see three potential victims.

It's sad this is what society has become. I get even more irate when out shopping somewhere and the person paying is on their cell phone while the cashier attempts to ask them questions. The ironic thing with this photo is all three people are probably talking to each other.

The background doesn't look real, the parrot doesn't look real, the whole image looks absurd, and that's why I like it. I really hope that was the effect you were trying to attain otherwise my comment may be construed as an insult. I really do think it's one of the better entries, and only have three photos ranked higher.

Hard to give the reasons I like this over some of the others. Maybe it's just different from all the flag waving and firework entries. This is the only one I'm having trouble explaining with my comments.

I would have titled it "Answers to No One", but that's a minor quibble. This was the idea I had when the challenge was first announced, but I don't plan on entering anymore challenges, and couldn't find the appropriate nomad, for lack of a better term, to photograph. There's a sense he just doesn't a crap about the world or someone three feet away taking his picture.

The look on her face is serene. Like there's not a how or a why in the world. Just floating along where ever the current may take her.

There's another entry I think is vastly superior to this one. That being said, this stand alone here. If the street was a little longer to further give the feeling of isolation it would have made this slightly better.

Without a doubt the best in the challenge. Two free spirits enjoying the ocean (I assumed, but could be a lake). I'd hang this on my wall.

It's driving me nuts the building isn't level. It's slightly higher on the right hand side, but it was different enough from the other entries that I thought it warranted a higher vote. It'd be really cool if more room lights were on on the sides of the building, but that's out of your control.
