The darkening around the edges definately makes the man pop out. Great composition and crisp focus. And I like the use of B/W tones.

This deserved a better score than it received. I gave it a 6 during voting. I like how the leaves framed the duck and you can tell the duck is white. Also, what made the duck stand out was because of the vibrant green in the leaves. It is a very nice photo.

First off congrats on your ribbon. Secondly, I didn't look or vote on this challenge because I didn't feel comfortable with the topic. But if I had I would have given yours a 10. You did a very nice high contrast B/W photo. I just love the processing. I am a big fan of B/W photos. They always seem to have so much detail and emotion. I can't believe I am going to say this but I am going to have to make this one of my favorites. You really did a great job.

For two reasons this photo makes me smile. One, it looks like he is smiling at me. Two, At the same time he does look like he is flipping me off. I love the warm glow you have achieved in his fur and the nice crisp focus on his face. Another thing going for you is the compoisition and the DOF. The pale background makes him pop. Wonderful.

Wow. I really like this. I love the high contrast. B/W worked well with this shot. Would have been perfect for the Vanishing point challenge.

I like this one better too because of the contrast. I also like the close crop. Nicely done.

Like the composition. I think it is neat how you caught all that grass flying around the the person. Nice crisp focus and tones.

Interesting idea. The photo is just a bit too soft. I love the red color and the fact that you caught a crayon drip in action. I think maybe with a different color background it would pop more (e.g. yellow). IMHO
