What an amazing contrast. This really makes an impression on me, mostly because of the pure colours.

Black & White... and Violett
by apbolt

Comment:
I had to laugh about this first. Then I realized that in the left is a tombstone. I like how the picture suggested two opposite feelings to me in but a second. But that's about all there is to it. The shadow is annoying, because it divides the word Violett in two parts. Nice idea, though.

Dominance

Now this one took me quite some time to judge.
I feel the figures should be more to the left, but I can't tell why. Strange. I'm glad you didn't use a chess board as surface. It would have distracted from the figures. The title fits perfectly, and the feeling of dominance is striking.
I just don't know what to make of the figures in the back. I don't see how they would add to the athmosphere, but they're good to fill the otherwise empty space.
Very nice, 9.

I like the shadow of the cage in the hawk's head. A very nice way to bring something into your image that's actually not in it.

This one's funny. Thanks. I like how many texture's are in there, without the image confusing the eye. I don't know whether you'd have got the permission to do so, but you might have put one of the pipes on the ground. Would have made the impression of decline even stronger.

The noise removal made the otherwise interesting structure on the skin disappear. A pity. I'd have placed the hand a bit lower, showing but the fingers. Nice idea not to show the eyes. The wather has to imagine your face.

Nice textures! But I don't get the title. The rope is still useful, isn't it?

That 'Waring' text is annoying. Did you think about leaving the right hand in the image?

I like that noise. 'Old time' eh?

Much too dark. It might use some contrast, too.
