| I LOVE this pic, and praise you for your insight into what makes a great composition. I'm just starting out and this is my first message, but you give me inspiration! Well done! |

Sorry, I don't do refunds.
It just goes to show that there's more to digital photography than capturing the image. I did have this type of processing in mind when I shot the engine.

| This is really interesting despite the rather ordinary subject. The way you have it framed really turns it into a visually pleasing peice of art! |

Yup, it sure is. I'm afraid the wow-effect will wear off with time though... |

| This was my second-highest rated image in the challenge. I think it's fantastically well done. So it's with a grin of pleasure that I check back and see that you, too, used Photomatix and Tone Mapping to get your enviable result. Ain't that a wonderful tool? |

| This is very impressive. You took a pretty normal, boring photo of a pretty boring normal subject and made it very interesting. I love the textures you've created with some very clever editing. Great colors too. This could be a tutorial to those with limited or no editing skills. I was amazed at the stark difference between the original and this edit!! When I first looked at the two, I had to really study them before I could believe they were pics of the same engine! |

| Apparently I like your style - this was my favorite of the challenge, though I didn't quite make it all the way through in voting. Really, really nice! |

| I would really like to know how you processed this, it is well done. The frame tidies up to photo as well. |

| I like this. It has that "grunge" look that is so popular around here, but I fell like this is natural "grunge". The tight crop is great. |

| Wow, way cool communication of the textures and tones--I can feel what those braided hoses and stuff feel like. I like this enough to add it as a favorite. |

very cool, frame this and sell it - it's art
the fact that I love it makes me think that the voters don't - sorry to curse you like that! I hope it does better than I think it will, a LOT better because it's great work 8 for now |

| The colours (or lack of) work well here. The grime and oily nature seems well reproduced. |

| Finally, a photo with the grunge look that I like! The grunge look should be used for these types of shots, not for people! Great lighting, cool composition, good job! |

| I really like this one. The only thing I'd change would be to give it just a hair of clockwise rotation to straighten that top l;ine up with the frame. Well-see, well-captured and well-displayed. 8. |

| Wonderful industrial nostalgia, lovingly rendered, misappropriated -to my senses- by an obituary decor: the border. |
