Very nice. Sharp and colorful. Nice macro work. There seems to be a touch of noise in the shadow, but that maybe my monitor. I'll wait till I am home to vote.

A very nice and sharp image. Very well composed. I realize you were trying to emphesize the color, but it seems a bit too saturated in the head... almost fake. I would be interested in knowing your lense and if you used a fill flash.

I love this image's simplicity and power. Well done. I'm hoping to do more high key work myself... I may come knocking at your door.

I love his expression! I normaly like b&w to be very contrasted, but the warmth he gives this picture would have been lost if you had gone overboard. Thanks for this image and congrats on your ribbon.

Congratulations on a well earned score and your top 10 finish. This is wonderful. I particularly liked your choice of a sepia look rather then B&W. I really liked busy images for this challenge and yours was.

Congratulations on a first place finish. I think this challenge was perfect for such a busy and stark image. You captured a feeling with this.

Will this be your new profile photo? This is a wonderful (albeit, disturbed) image. I think it is a perfect example of off center positioning of the subject. Congratulations on your ribbon.

Congratulationsâ€Â¦ this is a wonderful shot. I think the positioning and posing are perfect. The interesting composition part to me is the fact that the all the nails provide leading lines strait to the subject as well as being part of the subject. Only thing I might change is a tighter trim on some of the adhesives. Well doneâ€Â¦ well deserved ribbon.
