LOL.....well, that does get the message across alright! Only problem is, you're likely to get clobbered score wise by those who want to see some photographic genius piece. ;) 7 from me for the message alone!

The hanged Freedom

Wow, everyone is going for big contrast in this challenge! Interesting shot and really different concept that fits the challenge. Just a little too darkened to really grasp the entire shot and all of its nuances.

It's really captured the message of the challenge and love the tattered portion of the leaves. The background is a little too bright and "busy" as it detracts from the main subject of the leaves. I'm wondering if perhaps, it's the zoom on your lens? Perhaps, not enough distance to give it more DOF???

Candle in the Wind

Not sure on what to say here because I like this image as the blue area of the flame and the wick of the candle are great! However, I know how tough it is to capture a great flame but, the blown out part of it just kind of leaves it a bit unflattering. How to fix that? I really don't know because I struggle with flames as well and just don't try to enter them anymore (until I get the hang of capturing it properly...think there's a tutorial on that somewhere in here...gotta look that up)

Ready to Fly Away on Gossamer Wings

Really lovely colors and macro/zoom. I like the composition of it too. A bit out of focus on the lit wing area? Could be just my eyes. ;)

I like the curvature to the ashes and the foreground being the lit end.

I love the tunnel and the angle to this shot! Love the editing as well. My only criticism would be that it's really so dark that it the main figures take some staring at to actually see what's going on. It does make one stop and really look at the photo though.

Spit my diet Coke out, laughing at this one! It's kind of one that "gets" you afterwards and you come back to laugh! 9
