Are you in the midwest? Looks like tornado damage :) Very nice and very lucky picture, though an unlucky house. Hope it wasn't yours!

extraordinary

While the rock is large, I had to look at the picture several times to figure out what was extraordinary in it. I know you're trying to give perspective, but it looks like you mean the car. Still a reasonable entry, if a bit of a thinker.

Would prefer a bit sharper, but one of a very few that meets the challange.

CBS announces new 'Survivor' cast

This is one of the best uses of a casual photograph ever. You were able to not only see the humor yourself, but show it to your audience, a major feat on a site that frowns on "snapshot"-like images. Great Job!

Her eyes

I like it. Maybe a tad sharper focus around the fingers, and it would really pop.

Samantha's Challenge
by Neuferland

Comment:
While this would look nice on the mantle or in a family album, it's not a great studio portrait. The bright daylight washes out areas of the image, while her blak hat disappears into the dark foliage behind her. The focus is sharpest on the horse rather than the girl, where it should be the opposite. There are many areas where dark colors slide into black and light colors into white, making the image look flat. Her eyes are shaded by her hat as well. If you could have reflected some light on the girl from just above her in front, the image would have looked nicer, but it doesn't really fit this challenge anyway.

Very nice, I'd be proud to have a shot like this in my wedding album :)

Interesting take, doesn't feel like a portrait in the traditional sense, but evokes emotion and humor. I wish I could see his eyes, though. A very powerful shot, regardless.

A very natural look, with sophistication all out of proportion with the subject. You have a normal kid in a high-class shot, very nice. Focus could be a tad sharper. Great job overall.

Very strong theme, composition is nice, lighting is a bit too harsh here, I think. Good shot overall and a probable ribbon for the challenge.
