Really surprised at the score - I really like this shot. If I had to guess this was a victim of fast voting - the ninth guy (the ear) was one of the things I particularly liked.

edit: spelling

One Of These Is Not Like The Others

I'm usually a big fan of shallow DoF but the two matches to the right of the unlit one are a little too in focus for the extreme oof match on the far left to work well together. I think if all the matches except the red one were more oof it would have worked better - if that makes sense.

I like the overall idea, colors, and lighting.

I like how ominous this feels.

For some reason my eye naturally lands on the no. 10 horse and I sort of have to force myself to look at the number 9 horse who is the intended subject. Good choice of subject for the challenge and a solid shot.

I really like the use of DoF here except that I wish all 9 snacks were in focus.

The 9-year old feeling history

The shirt and left arm seem a little over exposed but I really like the positioning of the girl and how it's like she's reaching back in time as she touches the names of those that (presumably) fought and died to protect her way of life - connecting her to people who never knew her and she would never know.

I don't really understand the purpose of the bug in this picture...

Well, there were 9.

Nice use of lighting and it has an anthropomorphic feel to it - kind of reminds me of a mother watching one of her kids leave the nest.

Gave me a chuckle - good concept and I like the composition. Wish the slug was in better focus or positioned differently or something.

I like the use of natural lighting in this shot.
