"Peace" taken 9-11

Great subjects, the black and white works really well in concert with the subtle grain. Like the way you have cut out the heads of the two people standing but left their t-shirts. 9.

The deeper you go the thicker it gets

This image is very simple in subject and composition, and I like that.... it's always nice when a photo takes you somewhere - and I can't help but wonder where that path goes. Theres a couple of pieces of rubbish in the leaves that could be cloned out, but I quite like this one. 7

I think someone took this exact image for the painting with light challenge. I'm still really impressed by the technical skill behind it though. 8 from me.

Just Like Heaven

THis image has real drama thanks to that dramatic sky, and the equally dramatic white water in the foreground. Congrats on a really great shot.

Beautiful tender ape portrait. Not my favourite of the challenge, but I guarentee it will fill that role for many. You can't help but fall for those eyes. It doesn't get any cuter.

Who needs a man?

Yes this image is sexy, incredibly so (I'll be surprised if you don't get a couple of DQ requests for the overt depiction of a sexual act from the more conservative dpcers), but its appeal goes beyond the fact that I'm a guy and it's a naked picture of a gorgeous woman. Technically speaking, the perspective is wonderful, lighting is spot on, and DOF is absolutely perfect. On the more substantive level you have captured the joy of human sexuality wonderfully. At first glance she appears positively serene in her bliss - yet then you go and throw in the leather gear, which takes the viewer away from the beauty of the pleasure she is experiencing and throws in a raw, forbidden almost animalistic element. Anyway, enough meandering from me, the point is that this is a ten from me, and easily one of the best images in this challenge.

Really like the colouring here, many will feel this is overprocessed, and perhaps it is, but I like the overall impression of this shot. 9 On second look I still really like this. I'd just like to add that this would make you all sorts of money as a stock image!
