Took me a second to "get" this one. Cute. A sort of visual pun.

I like the idea, but I think it would have worked better focussed on the tip rather than the logo. Unless the intent was ironic, re: the communication in advertising in which case again - nice idea, but too subtle.

A title that focussed on the way it looks like a monstrous hand would have helped this picture.

If ever there was a picture that did NOT want to be presented in B&W this was it.

A lot of people use B&W for no good reason and if I don't think it adds to a picture I dock them a point for it. I added one to yours. An excellent shot and nice use of B&W

A painful harvest

Several people had this basic idea, but this was the best. Even though it had to be posed it gives every impression of having captured the moment as it happened; even that out of focus foreground blackberry helps convey that and give the picture a sense of spontaneity. I'm sure a lot of people will dock you for that but I liked it and I'm putting you up in my top group - all 9s today.

In some respects this is a stock picture and my first reaction was "OK - seen it before" but it's beautifully executed and I couldn't resist putting it up in my top batch of 9's

What can I say. Sex sells.

Really wasn't sure about this one, but the incongruity of the images finally persuaded me to put it in my top batch. Very nice photo, well executed. I think just a hint more of the mustache would have helped identify the subject and clarify the message.

Listen - It's realy in there!

This one started out as a 6 and kept moving up as I refined my votes. A very fine picture.

This is a beautiful shot and if I could have thought of any way that I could believe this was on topic I'd have given it a 10. Still - a good strong 9 and I wish it had been in a more appropriate competition.
