Crossed the line: Angry lines

Your take on Personal boundaries meeting the challenge is probably the most creative here. Very nice work. I can sense the anger on the child's face in the wrinkled lines between the eyes.

This shot along with the title just blew me away! You can definitely see the lines of time as the earth spins on it's axis. Amazing! It took me back to the times when I use to hang out my bedroom window having a smoke at night and I would glimpse up to the stars and my heart would go thump as I pondered the universe and the one who created it... that greatest of all questions was on my mind, How could a God so huge know someone as insignificant as me? Does he still play a part in a person's daily life or has he created this world upon which we live and left it to it's own devices?

I am really sad this did not ribbon, more so that it missed the top ten by one! Congrats though!

Normally I think the over-saturation and over-sharpening is over-used to hide a bad photo, but I don't think that's the case here. The photo looks evenly exposed with good vivid color, so I don't know why you tried to enhance it so much.

This is obvious drama and a high quality shot. I gave it an 8 and here's why I didn't mark it higher: I thought the shot was a little too sharp and could have benefited from being softened up a bit. Also I thought the fact it was shot from a little far away using a higher aperture setting brought everything in focus. I think the shot could have benefitted if one of the subjects was closer to you while the remaining subjects were farther away and a little blurred using a wider Depth of Field.

Nice Scene. Lighting is a little yellow. Also the knife looks somewhat modern with it's clean lines and simplistic design, while everything else in the scene is antique looking.

Definitely page 1 material. Inset right under the headline!

This is a great shot of a tough old man. The tones are awesome. The lighting is dramatic. Great job. Two small issues I have with the photo are the fact that the subject is not quite centered and I am not sure if it is the texture of the shirt, but it looks like there is a thumb print right on the chest. I give this a high 9!

Here is another 10! A different title would warrant an 11!
