Escalated Conflict
by relgraphics

Comment:
I find this image very funny and appealing. It seems posed but that adds to the humor. It has been neat-imaged a little too much in my opinion. I'd crop it a little lower on the top to get rid of the piece of hair sticking down. Effective for the challenge if not the most original idea... 6

What's Winning?

Comment:
I find this image very odd. Nothing seems to go together! I guess that was your "conflict," but I don't see exactly what two things I am supposed to be comparing to see who is winning. I am feeling a bit dense at the moment. Nature vs man, mother earth vs god, fractals vs straight lines, blue vs hideous orange pink? Something needs to be done about the blue cast... My favorite thing about this image is what I think is a bird. 5

Again David...come on, give everyone else a chance! :)
This is a great image. I'd be curious to see the original grainy image because I wasn't a big fan of some of the blurring on this. It looked a little too unnatural to me and I find myself becoming a fan of grain lately. Also, what's going on with the hints of green and red in the snow? Did you do that in post-processing. Well, I sound picky now...
I gave this a 10 and still would it's just interesting to see the choices people make in editing based on the original.
PS. Wish I lived where you live!

Hey! Awesome shot. It was so perfect I suspected that it was a little model of a boat on a mirror. Our camera did very well this week! Congrats.

Ah, I get it now. I thought there was no way I was going to get a ribbon in this challenge unless I broke the 7 mark, what with there being amazing images like this to compete with. I was shocked to see this in 8th place. Now I realize that the subject wasn't black and that's what did it. You can tell I'm not one of those people who really votes heavily on the challenge topic. :) This is going in my favorites. Excellent work.

40th place! ha! I gave this a ten. It think it should be in the top 10 for sure. Looks like a girl to me... Great concert photography/ portraiture. Going in my favorites. Keep up the good work.
