Very nice abstract. Interesting color tone as well. Only minor complaint is the far right edge should have been cloned back just 10 pixels or so. Good luck in the challenge.

A little help here?

:D Really getting into this aren't you? He-he. Hope this makes the front page as you've earned it with a well thought out and technically sound photo. Nicely done.

Wonderful tone and texture in this photo. This is an image I can appreciate. May not be glamorous enough for the masses when it comes to scoring, but it's a well thought out shot. Only minor negative for me on this is I think you should have moved the camera a little to the right as the bottom right corner of the photo is falling OOF. Bottom left is sharp. Of course that is assuming you didn't crop the left side off. Upper right doesn't matter as much because the eye isn't drawn into that corner like it is the bottom left. Yikes. That's a lot of verbiage for a "minor" complaint! :D Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

You certainly got the impact you were looking for with this lighting I think. It's very nicely done. Good luck.

Ok. Admit it, you were just jumping up and down with glee to be able to do this setup weren't you? :D I have no idea if it fits James Bond or not, but it's certainly a well done "splash" type shot. Good luck.

Nice work with the setup. Certainly mimics the James Bond look just fine. Something funny with the post-processing I think as there is a distinct shadow around the man. Most likely from feathering a selection and getting some bleedover from the prior background? Just a guess. Anyway, good luck with the challenge.

A View to a Kill

Some potential here with the idea. The pupil and iris are clear, but the remainder of the photo is a bit noisy/grainy. Just not "clean" enough for the "wow" factor IMO. The lines above and below the pupil are somewhat distracting as well. All JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Good use of props available to generate an image for this challenge. I like the way you've put the pieces together for this (toy car position, and "gunman" position). There seems to be a couple issues with the background area. The toy car is quite noisy in places, like you did some burning and it introduced some noise. The foreground black is fairly solid yet the areas in front and over the car look to show some selectioning leftovers and aren't solid black as they should be. All JMO of course. Probably doomed from the beginning with the use of toy pieces. Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

Clever and creative. I'm sure you've heard that one a few times by now. :D It's quite a fun photo. Nice job of getting a solid portrait to begin with. I like your choice of composing him within the frame - works well with the angle, off-centering, and including what you have of his face and head. The black background was a smart choice for isolating the subject and eliminating any distractions. Finally, a wonderful job of post-processing the eyes for this unforgetable image. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
