This should have scored higher. The details are so subtle, but beautiful. The rings of light are almost mesmerizing. Lovely image. :)

Definitely reminiscent of dark-room style editing. At least for me. :)

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, by Douglas Adams

Cousin It? Just kidding. :D Very eerie shot I love how you use the tea cup and plate of confections to lead the viewer to your subject, the lines of the table cloth also just bring our eyes to her...maybe a tired young woman. With such abundant hair I might add.

Extremely impressive use of DOF and vignette. It reminds me of The Road by McCarthy...it has that sort of apocalyptic feel with the tattered clothes and near desolate landscape. Wonderful photograph. :)

Amazing. Almost like an x-ray. I see an abstract depiction of human anatomy.

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the grunge border and stunning, illuminating eyes.

Honey? Don't throw the visible light spectrum in the garbage. It's recyclable. =-)

Actually, this idea has striking potential to me! However, the execution is falling flat. I think the blue tarp/bag on the top of the screen is supposed to be a garbage receptacle...unfortunately it's really not obvious upon first looking. The half hand on the bottom right unsettles the image. I think a direct downward shot would have had much more promise. In addition to a more clear presentation of the garbage can/bag, I also feel that the fresh cut vegetables aren't..."garbagey" enough, trashing it up and blending them more together to create a more cohesive visible spectrum would have more effect in my opinion. A very good idea though. :)

I like this image. I think you definitely stepped out of the box in finding a unique subject for the challenge. Unfortunately it didn't pay off too well in the challenge. :\

My impression is that the ball is too centered (or even not enough centered) and too small in the frame to generate the interest you want. I do like the texture that the mosaic generates in your background, but there's just something missing from the image. Maybe it's a story...or a general direction. When I look at it, my eyes aren't directed anywhere. In fact, the arms of Jesus tend to draw my eyes out the top of the image. I think a harder look at the subject would generate a more compelling image.

This photo is truly beautiful. I love the gentle crisp of the leaves and how that texture is transferred to the dirt on the can. The color on the can in contrast with the blues of the shadows really pops.
