Stunning image.... I liked it very much. I absolutely love the clouds. Even though the image is a bit dark there is still plenty of detail. I am also a fan of the rays from the sun. Good job. I definitely think this shot was under rated. Happy shooting

Don...I do like this b&w...I'll start with the bad and then move to the good. I feel that the pic is too dark. That may have been what you were trying for though. I feel especially the trees on the left have lost tons of detail. However I do like the trees on the right. You can see detail there. Also I really like the clouds. The bridge is also interesting and looks good in the shot. Happy shooting

Overall nice picture. The colors are crisp and clean. It very definitely portrays a very happy kid. However the crop is not working for me. I would have liked to see his entire head. The left and right sides are cropped just right. Overall I like this/ The subject is great. It really brings a smile to my face. Good job. Happy shooting

Interesting shot. The unintentional thing that has happened here is the subject is no longer the plant....it's the guy and dog. I like the DOF. the plant is crystal clear with lots of detail. Very nice. The colors are as they should be. Personally I don't know why it scored so low. I would have given it a better score but unfortunately I did not vote in this challenge. I think job well done and happy shooting.

I definitely like the subject matter. I this was a great idea for "LOUD" everything about it screams loud. The biggest problem that I see is the background. There's little distinction between his shirt and the background and also the guitar and the background. I think that had a very negative impact on your score. This might have been avoided by using a different light setup or even a slightly lighter backdrop. (not white) I don't think white would have worked here either. There also seems to be some blur. That can sometimes be caused by a lighting issue or ISO. Good composition and good idea though. Happy shooting.

I'd like to say that is thinking outside the box. I love the idea of the rock paper scissors. It's a very good idea for this challenge. Also the b&w works very well. Everything seems to be very crisp and clear. There's plenty of detail throughout. I also like the simplistic approach that you too. Well done. Happy shooting

I've always been fascinated with these shots. However I have never been able to successfully make one. Everything in this shot is crisp and clear. I like the look of the sky, clouds, and bridge. Overall I would say that you did an excellent job at pulling this one off. Your score also reflects that. Good job and happy shooting
