Perfect porcelain portraiture pose. The single side lighting adds drama and impact conveying the mood of gloom and despair. Very well done!

GRUESOME!! But, then again so is life sometimes. Sharpness and detail are right on as well as color and contrast.

Defeated..

The detail in this image is fantastic. The title and the shot is perfect for this challenge. The DOF and darkbackground add great impact to the photo. I find the arrangement of the opposing chess pieces both rythmic and pleasing to the eye, however very unrealistic in the end game of a chess match. I would like to see a shot with the pieces in more realistic positions to compare the two. I am rating this one high.

My choice for a definite top 10 finish. Composition, lighting, color and DOF are all right on the money. Well done!

Nice title and composition. I would like to see this in color. Perhaps the charred wood would stand out more in contrast to some colors.

ahhhhhh.. but all is not lost. You are allowed to clone out the spot for selling this print at potential high $$$$. Just not for this challenge.. lol What an awesome photograph!! I hope you took another shot with wider angle capturing all of the second rainbow as well.

Nice macro shot. Well done on the lighting, and focus. I find the lines of the wood slightly distracting. Perhaps a solid colored background would have worked better making the watch stand out even more.
