| Great work Ron, knew I didn't have a hope of ribboning once I saw this...on the other hand, Grapes of Wrath is the only book with multiple entries that all finished in the top ten, so yay us! :-) |

| Wonderful depiction of the dust bowl era and the feeling of entrapment. Fits the book to a T. Well done. |

| Great illustration of the grim despair of this book. I find the negative space of the broken window to suggest an interesting echo of the slouched, despondent figure - perhaps presaging the bleak future. Excellent! 10 |

TO me, the broken glass forms a monkey shape, on his back figuratively, pointing out the atavistic tendencies of crankiness and ill temper with age.
Just my style processing as well, detail and glow, framed beautifully and ever mindful to geometry.9 |

Looks like an image from the Grapes of Wrath. I like the lighting and the overall brightness of the photo. Nice composition.
Gave it an 8 |

| Fabulous. I love everything about this except the crop. Perhaps it is too obvious to make this square, but although I understand the need for some space to the right I feel that there's just a tad too much of it. |

This works for me as having been inspired by the novel. I've spent a lot of time in "Steinbeck Country", Salinas and environs, and this scene feels faithful to the rundown farm buildings (and run-down people) we used to see a lot of, and maybe still do for all I know. There's a nice sense of hopeless foreboding ("What's the world gonna throw at me NEXT?") in this shot, and that works.
I'm not sure all your processing choices really work for me, but I can see why you made them. I do like the granularity of it. 7 from me. |

Seems reasonable, matches the book well enough.
I don't find myself drawn to this, despite the fact I should be.

| There's more going on in that window than he knows. Couldn't ask for a more expressive image of a truly classic novel - one of the greatest fictional documents of its time. The bw treatment give it a period-specific treatment strikingly reminiscent of Dorothea Lange's poignantly tragic dust bowl photos. 10 |

| I can really see this as the cover for the book. If fits beautifully. The image itself is fascinating and appealing. I like the composition and the high contrast of the man and the broken window. I wasn’t too sure about the processing but having had the time to appreciate the image I feel it was a good choice. 9. |

| Very good, the broken outline of the 'antagonist' over the repressed and dispossessed. Fine piece of imagery that bonds with the novel.9. |

| Evokes a sense of dust, determination and loss, like the book. Well composed with a looming negative shape of missing glass that acts as a sort of ghost. 8 |

| Very well done. The grain, the solemn worn look, the broken window, the darkness in the house all lend to the story, and not just the title. 8 |

| 6...I like the gritty feel of it, the dust and roughness, the peevish looks on the fella's face. I don't enjoy the white vignette all that much though. |

I absolutely love this!
This would have done well in the Doors/Windows/etc challenge as well, I would assume.
The color is beautiful. The grain adds a great effect to the image. Lovely detail.
Very well done. Bumping to a 9 |
