Channel 9

Neat high-hey feel and I really like your depth of field. The nine is spot on with crisp focus and very well isolated from the other numbers that fade into blur. I don't like the composition, and the subject is relative mundane. The nine is too centered for me, thus it really prevents my eye from roaming the frame. The darkness at the bottom right corner is also distracting. As is, I score it a 5.

Great colors that serve well to grab my eye and move them through the frame. I also like the start that you have here at a potentially nice leading line. What I dislike, and what completely kills the image for me, is the very poor composition. You are way to tight in on your subject matter. You did a wonderful job keeping all 9 members fairly well focused, but cramming them in the frame while chopping off two heads, one hand, and having the far instrument nearly touching the frame cripples the image and composition. Definitely some potential, but it gets a 4 from me as it is now.

Awesome macro and a nice fit into the challenge topic. I like the tonal range you captured here. Yo have tons of grays, but also some nice black and some popping whites in your subtle highlights. This has been the best duotoned image that I have ran across in the challenge thus far. I would like to see a bit different composition, though. I think a taller rectangular composition would serve it better. As it is, it is almost square, but awkwardly not square. I would have gone a little more one way or the other. Even still, nice capture. It gets a 6 as my vote.

It works for the challenge, but it would also work for a 5 challenge. I get the idea, but the 9 gets lost in the sea of busyness and other subjects that compete for my eye's attention. 5.

Very creative. My only complaint would be your general composition. I like the subject matter and the overall layout of your elements. I would, however, either compose this one on center or obviously off center. There is a slight angle in your point of view that gives the composition an awkward look. Again, very creative, but pay a little more attention to your setup and composition. 6.

Very dizzying. Interesting take on the subject and I like several aspects of the image. I did the leading lines you created, and I like the transition into bright white. The depth of field also does a good deal to add interest to the image. Outside of the relatively mundane subject matter, I have no ideas for improvement and score growth. From me, a 6.

I really like your shallow depth of field, composition, subject matter, and crystal clear focus where the focus belongs. I have been fairly critical in the challenge thus far for images using nine objects without all the objects in focus, but this one works very well. I dare say it, but I will be surprised if this one doesn't ribbon. Though, DPC seems to surprise me with nonsense almost every single day. Great capture and good luck with the voters. A solid 9 from me.

Interesting silhouette. Great, transitioning and complimenting complementing colors in your sunset. I think that I'd like to see it even a bit more offset in the crop. 5.

Great idea and a nicely seen macro, but this one is way too dark. 5.
