Outstanding! Where can I buy the album? The light to dark flow, the gloomy waterscape, it's all great. You'll probably catch some criticism because the guitar player appears to be sitting in full sunlight from the right, but I don't care, the package works for me.

It's funny, because I would definitely consider this one of the "fun" challenges, where all the photos don't necessarily have to be great, but they must fit the challenge and be decent photographs. Most of the photos in this challenge seem pretty mediocre, because they're comical photos. Anyway, what I am TRYING to say here is that this is a genuinly good photograph; I could definitely see this on an album. Great job! This will probably be my only 10 for the challenge.

Excellent lighting, composition, and creation of negative space for your text. It would work better if the t-shirt didn't have text.

The tones are really stunning in this photo. I'm not crazy about the text. I think the drop shadow's a little heavy, and it'd be neat to have the text sit a little softer on the composition. Wonderful job, though, overall. Great band name, and the photo is definitely the highlight. 9.

Very nice off-centered composition. I like all the space in the frame. The color of the text goes along perfectly with the sky. (9)

It would also look good in B&W, great work, good luck...

nice use of semi-negative space. even though you can faintly see the horizon, the dark void works well. i like how you can just make out the horizon too.

What in incredible album cover! His expression is intriguing and the way he's looking to his side and into the frame works very well. The lighting on the guitarist next to the rich darkness of the water behind - and yet not quite so dark that one can't see what the background is. Composition is superb. Text position and colour (matching his Tshirt) are excellent - not quite as keen on font choice but it's still good. This one is a definite 10. Excellent!

I like this one. Colors are good and the whole structure is very good.
Maybe the bottom left corner is a littlebit overexposed compared to the rest.
But anyway very well done, an 8
