I like the desaturated colors, they fit well to the scene.

It invites me to stop and explore. Great.

Even with such a challenge, you manage to fit it in. Very good, although the sharpness seems to be just a tiny bit in front of the eye.

I would crop out the wire at the top of the image. (The B in B&W stands for black, not brown, by the way ;-) I does not affect my scoring)

Nice how you have combined the artist and the audience in one image. Works well. I do wonder how much of the image of the artist is remaining and whether it classifies or double exposure or just a clever edit.
For me, a double exposure means that two images are layered on top of each other and details of both images are visible in each part of the resulting image, unless one of the images uses a pure black. Ideally the resulting image is more than just the addition of the two. The combination shows some added value.

One of the few, if not the only one, where the double exposure has a purpose, it tells a story. Great. Also a good balance of dark and light area's. My top pick in this challenge.

Clever combination. Perfect fit ;-)
Although in the stricktest sense more than just a double exposure (like a number of others in this challenge). For me, a double exposure means that two images are layered on top of each other and details of both images are visible in each part of the resulting image, unless one of the images uses a pure black. Ideally the resulting image is more than just the addition of the two. The combination shows some added value.

I don't recognise the double exposure aspect in this image. Maybe a focus stack? My interpretation of the challenge is that one should be able to see that it is a combination of two images and I am scoring it high if the combination is more than the simple addition of the two. (I know that is just my interpretation)

I hadn’t seen this challenge until Anita told me how yours should have got the blue .. so of course I came to check it out .. WOW .. brilliant result .. and I loved reading your backstory .. :) feel sad about those low votes .. would love to know why .. :( Thanks Roz And Anita, Yes, I would love to hear from the low voters so I can learn how to improve my results in the future.

I gave it a 4 for reasons already explained during the challenge. The flat light seems to be a trademark/style (on camera flash?). I noticed I often make that remark on your images. The images often lack shadow contrast in my view. If I look at the histogram it is often quite narrow. On my phone it looks better but on my calibrated screen the images look often really flat. This aspect often takes 1 or 2 points of my rating.
