great take -- good humor -- could use a more photogenic hand model ;)

second only to "paper or plastic" -- clever take on the topic and well executed... a bit dull (sorry to be harsh) as photos go but you've done the best anyone could do with a pad of paper :)

Normally I would make some obnoxous comment about the stuff in the foreground being too distracting but since I have a dog that gets really interested in tennis balls when I have a project going on -- I total know this picture. (of course the blurry stuff is distracting -- a simpler set up with a bit less green would have had me focus on that pleading face even more!) Hopefully you've mentioned the dog's name and breed in your notes. Thanks for the smile.

Something about the musician looking into the camera with that hat -- just right! Nicely composed with the feeling of a "just before the performance" -- one of my ribbon picks this challenge.

Like the duo-tone effect you've created -- very punch darks and nice high key effects. I feel the crop is a bit tight on the bottom. As presented, one of my favorites this challenge

I like the low key B&W - wood grain really stands out and becomes an interesting element. Showing just enough of the instrument and case to tell the "gone by" story. One of my ribbon choices this challenge.

I like the mood you've set with the low key lighting... top of hand looks odd (could be my monitor or perhaps a bit too blurry?) Certainly different subject -- thanks for providing it.
