Now this one really deserved to win! Something we can all relate to and the best DPC fanatic picture I have seen on this site! Really got me lauging! I love the composition of this, really looks like someone just got a new tattoo and showing it off to their friends. Great simple composition, with the hands perfectly placed and the dark clothing, the jeans just showing enough detail but without distracting from the point. "Cheeky" but no crude!
Background
I like the way that the black T.shirt has faded into the background, creating negative space and once more allowing the viewer to concentrate on the interesting part! Perhaps the highlights from the belt on the left, behind the arm, could have been covered up, a minor detail.
Technical
You had a few comments that the lighting was a bit dark, personally I think that the lighting is pretty good here, with the skin being evenly lit, with no blown out parts. The lighting is strongest on the DPC logo which is good cause it brings attention to it, not that anyone could miss it! Focus seems spot on, with the Logo in sharp focus but the hand on the right slightly softer.
My Opinion
I think that this is a great shot, perfectly fits the challenge, definitely gets a few laughs and is technically well done. Just a shame that it wasn't in the top 3. B/W issues, bare skin issues, who knows? I think that this should be the new DPC advertisment. Anyway, hope that this helps yo and Good Luck in the next challenge.

The composition is good, nice and simple with no distracting information, I like the tilt of the notebook. However, I think that you lost most people with your brand of humour! This was such a difficult challenge, everybodys sense of humour is so different. I have seen entries before with something written on a notebook and for some reason they never seem to do especially well, maybe it's just not visually exciting enough.
Background
Background seems fine, looks a little dirty on the top right corner, or maybe that's just my computer screen!
Technical
Focus is nice and sharp, lighting seems OK, if a little flat, but I do like the shadows cast.What really would have helped this a lot would have been more contrast, easily boosted. Maybe if you had used colour pens, instead of pencils, then boosted the contrast it would have been better, lots of bright colours against a white background would have really stood out.
My Opinion
At least you tried, which is better than me, I totally copped out of this one! Good Luck in the next challenge

I really loved this, so delicate. Could you put some details on how you did this, would love to know how you got this effect. Its unbelievable that you could have got any 1s,2s, or 3s for this (something to do with the title?) By the way, I gave you 10.

Strawberry Splash

Great shot! Focus seems a little soft on the strawberry, but I can imagine that this must be a hrad shot to take! I like the use of colour on the border, which complements the picture.
