I like this. A combination of good symbolism and well-executed photography. It's kind of disturbing that people rated it down because of their "patriotism". Hope you don't have an address in your profile.

I like your DOF here, and the composition is effective in creating a focal point. The number is clearly and elegantly expressed. Good work.

007. This took me a while to find. I just thought, "What's with the guy and the wine?" Nice composition.

Ha, that's really cool. I just hope you didn't spraypaint this on there. Great picture, good composition, and I think the lighting, though a bit weak, works very nicely.

Nice find, pretty incredible to see a natural 16.

Good pic, too, though the shadows in the upper left don't agree with me too well.

I just don't see someone about to commit suicide pouring out their pills onto their desk first. Especially not vitamins.

Candlelight burns a bit too bright here., white line distracts.

Nice picture. I don't despair in looking at it, though, or think that much of anything here is. Colors are good, though.

Back later: I have to say that, regardless of the symbolism you intended in this picture, as an uninformed viewer of that picture I would have to have had at least some clue as to your intentions. Your picture is well-composed and has a fantasy feel to it, which I like, but I can't relate it to the challenge without your explanation. In the context of this contest, I think the photograph needs to speak for itself (or its photographer, as the case may be) and yours, in my opinion, doesn't do that.

Nice. Effective, too. Feels like the flower is crying.
