For me this is the only photo that actually shows a study of lines and shadows. The contrast is nice, good b&w, peaceful composition and the best thing is that it isn't just a composition of lines that makes it longlasting, but there is a real subject in it too (the fossile) - the only 10 for me!

I find this picture interesting...it is documentary and perfect for that matter! On the other hand creeps up the feeling that this is a scene I find very sad...I feel pity for the animals (and I don't know whether that's correct, maybe the pigs liked the running? I have never seen something like this before...) Apart from that the colours are all in tune, I find it especially very good that you've managed to catch the moment...the animals are definitely running, still it's stopped motion! The numbers on the backs are still visible adding more information to the picture, the crowd on the background, blurred, but still visible enough...perfect picture, but with a slight cruel (for me) feeling in it... ---> 10

validated??? Why??? (my guess is that there was someone underneath him throwing the extra fruit). I think this shot is very humouristic and still nice to look at!

lovely!!!! Colours just splash from my screen here!! I like the see-through especially and the sharpness and brightness of the balloons! The right balloon being just that bit bigger than the left one, compensates for the centred composition keeping it from being boring. You've got yourself a 10!

ooh I like this one! Very nice soft shadows turning to harder ones, the cup is slightly off centre, but now the drip is on 1/3rd of the photo: perfect! The colours are beautiful and I like the sphere you give with it through the title, it fits the scene well. Only thing that bothers me a bit is the handle (don't know the right English word for it, in Holland we call it the 'ear') seems a bit brushed on the right edge in photoshop (or something alike)..it's not a crime though, but the hard edge seems a bit out of place.. even though I'll give it a 10, also because you managed to give such an original twirl to a cliche thing..well done!!!

bongo! (bingo!) great capture of the ..ehm..slime (I don't know how it's called) or waterdrops..that look in her eyes and nice desaturation of the subject itself (you're one of the few who dared to do that!)

I know it wouldn't have worked otherwise, but I do find it a pity that your fingers are showing. The green is splashing though!

for me this one is one of the greates in the challenge. Nice sharpness, nice black and white, really good compostions and subtle use of the desaturation - 10 This one should really win!!
