Great photos like this are going to make it impossible for me to get through all the photos in this challenge without spending countless hours writing feedback. This just takes my breath away. I love the drama here. I love the colours, I love the composition. It's pitch perfect 10.

It's going ot be so hard to comment on even a fraction of challenge entries - and this is only the second one I've seen - but I just had to say this is absoluely striking. A beautiful, dramatic, rich image. I love it. 10

This is a beautiful image in so many respects. I love the play of light here - just perfect. Completely fits the theme - but more importantly, sets a mood. Great expression in every respect. Love it 10

"Sean" - 35 - Needs $17 for a Room

This is one of the best profiles I"ve seen in a challenge. The colours from the light are beautiful. You've relaly capured expression here. I'm not sure that it speaks to the poverty theme though - maybe if there was a little bit more of a background (something looking impoverished in the background) or something that shows what teh person is wearing. The face itself does not look "poverty' to me. HOwever, really beautiful (actually, stunning) image. 9

Late Detention

This is a near perfect image. THe white balance is perfect. The streaming sun is amazing. The old desk is really dramatic. Love the Pink Floyd like touch of the costume here. I find the image just a tiny bit out of focus though and that's a shame. I realize doing an unsharp mask or sharpen doesn't always work. I do love this though. Well done! 9

There are so few good quality images in this challenge. But this one really stands out. I love the contrast - the depth of the black. The drama. It's so compelling. Plus, you shot something totally different from everyone else. Bravo. 10
