I wish the image wasn't so washed out. Had this been exposed properly I would have scored it a 9. The expression is terrific.

The second ten in the group. The high contrast, bare arms and sunblocking hats convey the concept of heat very well. Nice work.

Hot Girl Sweats it Out!

The 115th vote in the series and the only ten so far. Excellent portrayal of heat. The subject has an exhausted, sweaty appearance. The reflection and hoop add a lot of interest and helps frame the subject. Excellent work.

This is the 107th photo I've voted on and it's the first one I actually *liked*. I didn't score it very high simply because when I look at it I don't see anything that cries out heat. The word heat is in the title but the image doesn't convey it. If there were perspiration on the subject's forehead and shirt I would have scored it a ten. The black shirts could have shown the perspiration well, too. Excellent photograph anyway. It really tells a story.

If only the foreground were in focus!

Nice concept. Wish I had been this creative. Would have given much higher score if the image were overall 'warmer'.

Interesting sculpture. I would have given this shot much higher marks if the horizon were either level or more skewed so that I knew it was intentional.

Nice concept here. Would have scored MUCH higher if the view through the glasses was in focus, too.

Great concept, nice exposure. Humorous! Can't figure out if the white, textureless background helps or hurts the image but I do find it a bit distracting.

Pondering the Challenge

I keep coming back to this and wonder why I don't give it a higher mark. I think it's because there might be a little too much background at the top and the skin tones are to cool for my liking. I would have scored it much higher as a black and white.
