Greetings from the Critique Club...

I believe the first paragraph in your post challenge comments probably sum up your result. Drug use is also not limited or specific to any particular decade in time. You can't expect much from any particular image when it's a rush job. Every now and then you will get lucky, but you can devise a weekly challenge plan that will improve the quality of your work. You may want to try something like this:

Day 1 and 2: Brainstorm the topic and throw out the first 5 ideas you come up with. Look for a unique idea.

Day 2 and 3: Think about how you want to make your photo happen and visualize what you want it to look like.

Days 4-7: Execute your image. If it doesn't look like your visualization, keep trying.

I'm giving this photo a 10, but I think it needs a little more breathing room between the edges of the subject and the border. It's a bit cramped... it does make an excellent b/w though.. nice work :)

This is an excellent photo. I remember seeing something on TV about these rocks in Death Valley... the phenomenon is quite intriguing! Excellent work... 10

This is a beautiful image, but there seems to be some sort of odd artifacting or filtering that is giving it a wierd feel...

I think the saturation here is a bit heavy.

Your dodge/burn artifacts are too visible in the final image. This is a shot that could possibly be better if you look for other conditions...
