Nice clarity, but your use of the concept, though "clever," just doesn't cut it. Sorry.

A photo with a message, eh...

I love the technical aspects of the shot, and even find the concept quite clever. Nevertheless, it somewhat troubles me that, were it not for the title of the challenge, I'd probably have no idea what you're smoking. I'm not sure just how you could have worked through this problem, but, irrespective, it's one that I see. Great job taking the picture, even if it is somewhat an oddity to try to rate.

I saw another shot just like this a few minutes ago. It's funny how people come up with similar ideas for these challenges, sometimes. Anyway, I really like your entry, though I wonder as to the cause and purpose of the black "blotch" at the lower left-hand corner of the frame.

I want more contrast and more sharpness, but that's only because I so like the shot, and want to see it brought to (my perception of) perfection. Very good work, but short of "great."

I do, but I don't like the lack of a certain clarity I'd like to have seen in this shot. It's a nice idea, and a great TITle (ha ha), but I feel that the execution is somehow under-developed. Good, but not great.

I saw another shot just like this already. You both have great concepts, but you have the execution to back yours up. Excellent work: "10."

Awesome; I love the totally metallic feel etched into every aspect of this shot. Great work.

I think we have ourselves a winner. You obviously know what you're doing, but here're the compliments: Great color, great sharpness, great representation of subject, great freezing of motion... great work.

I like the shot and the idea; I love the clarity and the sharpness; I hate the white balance.
