Cool use of motion blur, executed properly and to good effect. Selective desat and toning done aesthetically. It appears you put a lot of thoughtful effort into this and it shows. Well done.

Clean presentation and quite effective! Nice use of negative space.

Cig butts don't make for an interesting subject, but yours has a nice, aesthetically pleasing presentation which draws strange interest from me. The trail of smoke is also a nice touch.

Looks like a tall order! Well composed and quite a unique entry.

Interesting and effective use of reflections/DOF to convey your message. I am a fan of B&W photos too, and I think this one was tastefully composed. Well done.

Ugh...enough to clog anyone's arteries. I think you selected a nice DOF and nailed the focus on this shot. Overall well framed and composed.

First off, it appears that you nailed the focus on this one. The disorganized busy appearance in this composition is fitting given your message. Couple of observations: it appears to be underexposed a hair or two. White balance is skewed to the warm side. Overall, a credible entry but one that just does not have broad appeal from an artistic viewpoint.

Couple of things here which is not working...the shear distortion introduced into this image probably as a result of deliberate post processing does not add to this image in a meaningful way (aside from being a purely artistic decision). The second is the size of this entry. It's thumbnail sized and makes judging it quite difficult. Try submitting an image that is 600+ pixels on the long edge.

I like the toning and overall composition. Background shadow is also pleasing and creates a nice platform on which you presented the subject. Lots of contrast here which is also distinctive and pleasing.

3 Gears

I'm not so sure if the strong side lighting and resulting shadows add to the aesthestics of the image. DOF is too shallow and the foremost gear struggles to be in focus. The negative space is a nice touch, and your border is subtle yet effective. Overall a nice enough entry which I think suffers from choice of lighting and depth of field.
