Normally, clowns disturb me. I think I might be ok around these guys, though. In small numbers.

Simple, snapshotty, yet certainly conveys the message.

Amazing effect in the foreground, I feel a certain sense of forboding/gloom that I can't quite put my finger on.

Centerpiece is nice and sharp, but DOF a bit too shallow for this subject.

New Years Eve Bluegrass Celebration - Station Inn

I know I'm not the only one, but this is very blurry. Try higher ISO with faster shutter or, if available, longer shutter with second-curtain sync flash if trying to convey idea of motion and still maintain the boket of lights above.

Haunting. This is by far the most beautiful image of the bunch, I keep thinking about it even at work! In a challenge full of what I consider DNMC (IMHO, because not one TS-E lens was used and all effects were PP), this one stands out because it does not seem to take a feeble attempt at faking the funk. Just a lovely image, stays with the viewer, captures interest (I was forced to look up the title, "beautiful game," right? and though generally in reference to football to hell with that I think this better exemplifies the phrase!), stirs the imagination, and evokes powerful memories of childhood fancy and whim. Art in every sense, thank you for sharing your vision with us. You remind us what photography is all about. I'm sorry I didn't vote because if I did you would have one more 10.
