The Road to Brown is Paved With Good Intentions

Great concept, love the message! Get the feeling this one isn't quite going down that road. 7.

Heh, cute! Ignoring the ribbon for a second, this is a really nice portrait. Great detail in the face and eyes and a nice composition too. I'm wondering if it would be better in colour though.

The ribbon obviously brings it into the challenge too and it's a great original way to present it! 9 from me.

I was fully expecting to see some woodys in this challenge, glad I wasn't disappointed.

Not sure what exactly the message you're trying to convey here, it's clear they're going to burn the ribbons, but it's not entirely clear why, or am I just overthinking this?

Heh, I'm sure this isn't related directly to DPC, but nice find nonetheless!

Nice contrast of colours here, especially the white against the deep blue sky. The composition is a bit strange, it's almost centred but at an angle at the same time. Still, nice bright cheery image, good to see one outdoors in this challenge!

The Coveted One

That's quite a collection you've got there!

There's a couple of things I don't like here. Firstly there's a strange red tint to the whole image. Second is the carpet / rug you have used as the backdrop. It doesn't add anything at all to the image and is just kinda in the way. Lastly is the angle, it's not quite straight on, but it's not really angled, it's just lingering in that 'in between' kinda area.

Wouldn't that be nice!

Good concept, the whole things quite dark, which I'm guessing was your intention but it doesn't really work for me.

There also appears to be some banding of the blue round the edge, and I'm guessing you've applied a blur layer here with a mask but it's picked up the edges of the camera and made it look a touch soft.

I have cognitively mapped this environment and there are no ribbons.

Hmm, this has to be one of the biggest shoehorns I've seen in a while.

Focusing on the shot alone, the lighting is a touch harsh and there appears to be a lot of noise, but then, I'm guessing that you're not aiming for blue here.

Nicely done, simple, elegant, clear and sharp. This comes across much better than many of the elaborate shots in the challenge. 8.

Hmm, turned out a bit more green than blue. There's some strange artefacts in this shot, some horizontal banding, and looks like a lot of noise too. I like the idea, and it's quite cleverly done, but I think the processing has caused it to look a bit strange.

Not sure if calling it a 5 year plan is optimistic or not!

Step away from the ordinary this shot. It looks a bit flat in B&W, might have been nice had that ribbon been in colour.
