oversharpened and colors pushed to a surreal look don't work for me here. Maybe a little, but I think you went over the top. Clearly just my opinion...

Excellent capture of light -- slightly overbright really works here. You've earned a rare 10 from me.

In this instance, I like the "painting" filtered look. Nicely done. Sorry I didn't vote in this challenge, but I certainly would have given you higher marks than the average here.

Nice idea. It seems a bit out of focus.

Creative, interesting, and uneven. Is the purple being shunned? It's further away and shorter... I still give it a 6.

I gotta ask -- where you inspired at all by my shot like this in an earlier challenge?

Catch of the Day

Very clever. You could work for an ad company. The photo itself looks just a bit flat though -- a boost to the color saturation would help.

Never mind -- I was looking at the photos on a monitor at work that definitely needs some work. On my home computer, the photo looks great. Sorry I only gave it an 8 -- it deserved more.

Somehow I'm reminded of the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Nicely done -- and to those that found it offensive -- I think you need to revisit what is truly offensive in this world; and there is plenty to choose from. This, my friend, ain't it though. This is just art. The black was clearly chosen to deemphasize everything but the mouth, hat, and eye (and popsicle of course) -- no other reason.

That being said -- the shot is scary -- just like in the Rocky Horror Picture Show! I SEE LIPS!!!

Fantastic picture, but I'm missing the purple part. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though.

I guess each to their own tastes... while this is a nice portrait, it doesn't come close to the photo you ribboned with. Maybe actually as a "portrait" this is a better shot, but as an artistically done photo that would work on anyone's wall, I have to go with the ribbon winner. I just added that one to my list of favorite photographs. Congrats on the ribbon.
