Love the blur. Not so sure about the B&W. I feel that the motion could be brought out more if in colour. Could be wrong, though.

Good idea which fits the challenge very well. I don't like the shininess of the skin caused by the harsh lighting. 6

I like the left-right theme, but I don't like the subject and treatment that much. 5

Goodbye summer

Nice idea, rather ugly subject. I'm sorry to say this, but irrespective of the photographic quality, if the subject is replusive, the final effect will be too. 5

While there are a few points of difficulty here (the general darkness on the right, the lack of symetry with the top being more cropped than the right) I like the overall effect. 6

Good graphic arrangement and a clever idea. I would have thought that noise levels would decrease as time goes by, though. 7

THE Colonel

I, too, am commenting from the thread.

I think that the cropping in the entry photo is much stronger than the full-colour version as it really emphasises the face wonderfully. However, the desaturisation works against you as the head blends into the background quite a bit. Having said that, the strong, blue background rather overpowers the face in the colour version. Desaturisation could work, but on different colours for different reasons.
