Alice in Wonderland
by tvsometime

Comment:
she has the "chasing the white rabbit" look alright; though it seems she's already obtained her spot of tea for the mad hatter's party.
the expression is what sells this image for me, regardless of location/era.
i give it a 7

Grapes of Wrath

Comment:
I like the lighting and grit of the image.
Good DoF and the drops coming from the bottom add impact to the fist.

This certainly seems like a willful free-spirit.
i like the candidness of this image, and the possible stories that this could be telling.

Lord of the Flies

Comment:
Several notable quotes from this book jump at me when i see this image. (below)
It looks like the boys were having fun here, and that's the most important part - capturing them being kids because further down the road that's what you can look back at this and remember.
I love the imagery here, the lighting is great through the trees and the detail is crisp.
I may have cropped a bit more from the top, but it's such a small criticism that it's hardly worth mentioning aside from being honest in my thoughts on the image.
A 9+ and contender for my favorite in the challenge.

A fun imagining of this classic tale.
I like the light play as it would not be easy to see that far down, so i'm hoping that people aren't knocking you for it.

"The Great Gatsby" Remembered
by beatabg

Comment:
every time i look at this, and i've been back to look a few times, i can't see this as a serious single image. the dress, shoes and legs look cartoonish and flat, the boat and glass look directly lit in a way that the area here does not look to be capable of.
there is a fantastic attention to detail on everything else, and while the car may be reminiscent of 'old sports car', it does not seem to fit for the period that Gatsby would be set in, nor would the car be in this state of disrepair.
im giving this a 5

Go tell it to the mountain ~ James Baldwin
by Neat

Comment:
clouds give a feeling of height, which is good, but i feel there is too much cloud in the image, to the point that the mountains are almost getting lost here.

Keep the aspidistra flying - George Orwell (1936)
by hajeka

Comment:
This certainly gives the impression of the named plant, but i find the DoF slightly too shallow. i'd love to have a bit more focus going back, and i realize that is hard to do while maintaining the focus throughout the top areas.
Still a 6 from me.
