I am not usually one for the zoom blur, but in this image I think it works quite well. Great color tone and textures.

A little bit forced on the fake blur, but a lovely image none the less.

Love this shot. The blur of the people to the point of being phantom like is awesome. Bumping up in my top three.

Hey David. I voted this a 7. I thought it was a humorous and creative take on the challenge and not what I was expecting to come across - which is a good thing IMO. The out of box thinking doesn't always garner you high scores, but I would assume you are getting some praiseworthy comments for the idea. Execution wise the lighting may be a bit harsh as the shadows are pretty sharp on your model. I think you could have fared well with a slightly heavy handed edit, making it a tad bit more cartoonish - maybe making the keys a bit more quickly recognizable by appearance rather than just the idea (with them laying flat and the harsh lighting they kind of go blah on the eyes). Your model has a great frustrated look. Overall though I am not sure if there was much you could do editing wise or anything to really effect the score much. The out of the box thinking is probably what is hurting you most - but again that is what I appreciated in this image.

The ancient art of seing fireworks

Not sure what to do with this one. On one hand I love the image. Peculiar and pleasingly odd. On the other, even with a broad and liberal view of fireworks I am not getting it, even with the title. So I am going to pass on voting on this one. In a FS or different challenge where it wasn't so much of a DNMC I would score this well. But I hate to give it a DNMC vote here because I like it. So no vote. Curious to see your details and hoping you have shared your vision for the image.
