I like the statement you're making here, but belive it can be made more effectively. Though the ugly color cast and high noise level helps to define your feelings, I don't believe that a mere collection of symbolic objects helps to state your case. In addition, though I believe the substance in the lower left to be illicit drugs, it's not entirely clear what it is.

Great lighting and wonderful tones! Has a painterly quality to it and really fits the challenge well.

Stunning picture and very well done. I like the perspective and detail you've captured, but it doesn't say nostalgia to me.

I like the composition and for me, the plain charcoal background makes this picture. Only thing is I think it to be a bit overexposed.

I would have liked to have seen more motion blur to give me the impression that they are in fact falling and is not just a standing sculpture. Also, I don't find the domposition all that interesting.

Stitching time! Need a tetanus shot?

The lighting and duotones really make this shot for me. They set a mood of cold sterility and along with the sharp and pointy medical instruments, send a bit of a shudder down my spine. Composition is really good too...I like your arrangement.

I like the low-key and the contrasts here, but most of all I really like the way you've captured the textures of the tools and their solidity. They appear to have weight to them.

Even with the blown out sky, I love this photo. The lighting is almost surreal and the image speaks volumes to me about recless abandon and youth. You can almost feel the heat coming off the water in the form of mist in the background. I like the composition and the way you've captured the boy in mid air. Very well done.

Colors are nice, albeit a bit overexposed, but there's just too little in focus in this picture, if anything. Judging by your title, I would say that at least the bee should be in focus.
