Technically, not a fan of the photo, but you're getting high marks for the idea alone. Love when something creative comes through the pipe.

Alone in the After Life?

I don't like the colouration you used in this image. Looking at it, a straight up B&W may have been better. As such, I'm going to lower my vote slightly.

After jumping for an eternity, I have to take some points away because although this photo is decent, you didn't go through the same physical hardship many of us had.

No, it's a simile.

Also, isn't the quote, a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle?

I would have given this a 3. Below average.

Had to choose a challenge at some point, and to be honest, I was going to wait around until a sports challenge rolled around, but figured I could be waiting a long time. So I entered this crappy photo instead.

The contrast in the sole of the shoe, specifically the black portion where the only interesting elements in the photo are, is completely flat. It just looks like one mess of blackness where there should be definition. I probably should have cleaned the soles also rather than have random debris hanging around. The main thing lacking, is there is no story. It's simply a pair of shoes with some really cool text on the bottom.

One potato, two potato (1964)

It's more like 1/16th of the potato, 2 x 7/8th of a potato.

What Giles_uk about the dog tags. I feel like they're what I'm supposed to be looking at, but they're out of focus. If dog tags and boots were more synonymous, maybe it wouldn't be a problem, but they are two things which aren't normally associated together. Add the fact one of the them is red/pink, it draws your eye there immediately.

Now that you asked for an in depth critique, what I don't like is both boots aren't the same. One is clearly over the ankle, about four inches, and the other looks like it's been chopped below the ankle. I'm starting to wonder where the rest of the boot went, and more importantly, why. I gave this 5, which was above average for this challenge, but looking at the lack of boot is driving me nuts now.

Another ridiculous photo. Love it, you and a couple others are tied with my second highest vote, and if it was a little sharper, you would have got second all to yourself.

I would have liked to see more of the flame or non of it. More smoke above would have been cool also.

I love this photo because it's so ridiculous. I'd put this on my wall.
