 I\'m having a horrible day, just got braces in my lower jaw and school starts tomorrow.
I\'ve been picking competitions at random all day and doing horrible outtakes of all of them. This one came out the best tho no doubt doomed to failure as usually.

I didn't vote on this challenge, so this is the first time I've seen your picture. It reminds me of Munch's "The Scream" but in b&w. Good work.

Very interesting photo. I can't say this is exactly an image without subject, more of an image with part of a subject ;P.

I like how everything is so muted. It really adds to the challenge. As far as what to change on this, I can't think of a thing. I really like this.

love this shot, but there is a definite subject ... at least in my opinion

Cool...almost subjectless but still a 10 to me.

love the smudged out humanity in front of the bare gritty wall. the extreme lefthand placement of the person has him competing with the spot above him and the crack behind him for viewer attention. therefore, a truly subjectless picture. 10

I love the shot and am still giving it a 7, but doesn't the presence of a person, even blurred, de facto present the eye with a subject in the picture?

Very artistic, so simple but so effective to see the bare wall with just a crack..like this on my wall!

Wow! What a wonderful ghostly image there in the lower left. The crack in the wall and the other marks are very, very nice!

This is an incredibly powerful shot. I find myself mesmerized by the person. Unfortunately, that also makes it, IMO, not meeting the challenge. So it gets a great score minus a bit, leaving only a good score :(

Creative and artistically done. I hope it does well. It's out of the box's approach to "no" subject. Love the title.
