this one was one of my favourites of the challenge. I'm disappointed to see it rank here, I think it was much better than that, I honestly cannot find a thing in it I would change. Great picture, Steve! :)

Very cool the way you this conveys the effects of weather. On the economy no less. Very creative. I honestly didn't think much of it looking at the thumbnail but once I realized what your message is here the picture becomes a lot better. A perfect 10!

Nice sharp image. The title clears up the double-meaning of this image, needed creativity in this challenge that helps you stick out.

Nice Subject. Good Eye. Maybe a simple white boarder would look good here. (9)

An excellent shot here. It provides a strong message and is technically quite well done. Good composition, etc.

Kind of interesting making the penny to say "tnec eno". Nice shot I like the colors in this shot, warm effect.

Good idea. (Desperate for "weather" in southern CA, I considered this one as well.) The penny and title give it a unique twist. Something about the overall image doesn't quite apeal to me, yet it's a fairly well done shot. I want to say there's too much clutter, but it fits the title. Or maybe it doesn't. I can't decide, but overall I think you did good.

Not sure about the title, but the photo is strong and stands well on its own. The ground color and texture are very well captured. Nice work. -danny
