This image should have placed much higher. But there is enough talent displayed here which we will all benefit from your future entries.

Somehow the desaturation makes those look less like lollipops. I think that this would have been better in color.

Very nice portrait. Good interpreation of the challenge. A lot of entries are contrived, but somehow although the two are not directly connected you have managed to get away with it. One of my favourites of the challenge. Great work

very creative. I love the random associations. The light seems just a bit too strong on the models face and the pose looks a little awkward. Overall, I like the shot though.

Nicely done. Very sharp. Curious as to why you chose b/w?

The combo is a little forced for the challenge...would you ever do this picture outside of D&L? However, the portrait is excellent and I gave it a 7 anyway.

Lighting is good, posing is good, creativity is good, would have like to see color version just to see if it made it better, but won't effect score. 10

I really like this, black people are hard to photograph, you've managed perfectly. Nice black&white conversion!

This would be a fun shot with just the lollipops in color as well.

Good shot... I wonder how it would be to left the dreadlocks and the lollipops in their natural collors.9

this is a fantastic image. light on the forehead is a bit harsh, but i truly love it and it's an inspired idea for the challenge.

Loved this when I first saw it and love it more now. 10

I like the image and it's a good shot and title. Was it shot in b/w? The color of the pops might have stood out more - still a great capture. AND WOW what an expression -- 8

Very nice portrait. Good lighting (forehead is a tiny bit bright but not remarkably so), excellent focus, nice contrast and tonal range. :)

Love her hair!!! Cute idea with the title. The candy is a bit dull - wish they had some shine on them but the portrait is really well done. Interesting perspective.
