This image is more serene than chaotic to me, but that does not matter at all. It is very hard to resist the urge to over sharpen something like this. You did and the result is one great shot. Congrats on an excellent image.

...And Chaos Shall Rule

Duplicating and repeating an object in an image should be done sparingly. Just my opinion. The result is not bad, but it would have worked much better for me if you had worked harder to make some lights look like they were red, others green and some yellow to create more "chaos".

Perhaps the most creative attempt to photograph chaos. The final result is done so well it demands a high rating.

When the World is in Chaos, Turn to the Simple Things in Life

Interesting method to produce background chaos. Works well with a flower as main subject. Nice use of the ROT. The stamin is a little out of focus and that hurts this image some. I always evaluate images independent of challenge so asked myself if this image is good even if there were no challenge. My answer is yes. Great job.

Where am I?

I understand that you created this image this way intentionally and I appreciate the effect you were after. The appearence of the jaggies, particularly i the upper right and left portions of the image doesn not ork well for me. That is because they show up so often unintentionally in images that I view that as a major fault in a digital images as a whole and rarely rate them high if they have them. To me this image is a 6 or possibly even a 7, but because of the jaggies I gave it a 5 for technical reasons. Sorry.

Very creative and well done. Should be a ribbon contender. Did you make the eight on the "break"? :)

Factory Accident?

Kool man that someone takes the challenge seriously. I "see" here that you took on the challenge head on, eyeball to eyeball so to speak. You must be a pupil of great photography and your iris was stopped down just right for this little peach of a shot. Just one thing, did you use mirrors or somethin' to make it look like your eye was in the can? I can tell it must have took a long time cause it is bloodshot. Should get a good score cause of that.

Top notch composition, lighting and interest. Capturing the reflection in the lid is a great touch. It is simply the "best" photograph in the challenge.

This easily could have been a ribbon winner. The one eye in focus adds great interest to this capture.

Speedy Girls

This is one of my personal top three images for this challenge. The profiles of the runners are captured perfectly and this image nicely conveys to the viewer that it takes intensity to achieve success. Perhaps there is a dose of sentimentality for me in it. I competed in track and cross country for many years and vividly remember training.

Crash in the night

The way color was processed in this image gives it a surrealistic quality that perfectly supports the accident scene as the main subject. It gives the viewer that "been there, feel for you" reaction. The quality of this image is outstanding and is a wonderful variation of the "streaking car headlights on the freeway" cliche. It is one of my personal top three for this challenge.
