If she was a real guardian angel wouldn't she be keeping them away from railroad tracks? :)

Lead (Pb)

Wow!!! When I saw this image I knew there would be comments about pencil "lead" being graphite. I had no idea there would be this many, or this high of a percentage pointing out.

Once Abandoned

I like the overall image, nice processing. But, I am not getting the story here (or at least I am not putting it together). She is clearly crying, grasping a photo that appears to be a "prom date" kind of shot, and she is wearing a wedding band. She's dressed in black, so I am thinking the love of her life has passed away. Where I think I am getting lost is she appears to be holding a hat. If it is supposed to be a funeral, the hat doesn't connect to anything else in the image. It would be great if she was holding something that connected her to the man in the image.

You have some killer work in your portfolio.

The overlay blends in so well with this shot. It took me about three times to decide that it really was an overlay and not just an abandoned building. The mood is fantastic, there is a darkness, or a foreboding that comes through in this image. The solitary figure gazing out the windows, as if expecting someone to take her from this place. Fantastic.

Offshore

Hey, is that Russia over there? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Now for the actual comment.

Without the title I wouldn't have guessed this was a boat. I suspected it was, but I've seen some mighty oddly built cabins as well. I didn't vote on this challenge, but this would've probably ended up with a 7 from me. I really like the bands of clouds and the bands of color going on in the image. I wish the boat was a bit brighter, I think it would make it clearer what it was. Nice choice of title, it's a way of saying "It's a boat, you fool. Without saying It's a boat you fool."

A quiet moment

I really like this image. The emptyness of the stairs really adds an impact and mood to this image.

Classic!! Selling your soul, to your wife, was well worth this shot. It would've been great to have someone else around to shoot the expressions on peoples faces. If this had been an expert challenge you could've changed the street sign to Styx.

I am always so impressed with you work. You have such a fantastic eye for photography. The framing of this image is perfect, the DOF fantastic. Such a simple shot, and yet a wow factor. Nice.

This is beautiful. The way the light strikes the woman its almost like she is in a spotlight and away from the rest of the world. Add that to the seperation from the hustle and bustle in the background. Fantastic. 10's from all but the Russian Judge -he's a jerk so don't take it personally :)
