Who Done It?

Interesting idea, but the execution is a little rough. The yellos caution tape in the lower right, the yellow on the sidewalk in the lower left, the telephone wire or whatever it is cutting through the left side, the busy background - these are all distraction that take away from the actual picture. That being said, it looks like you went through a lot of work to put this together, so keep it up but focus on the details for the next one.

Hahahaha, this really made me smile. Love the contrast and the b&w in this. Great idea.

Ooh, clever idea! Though I usually frown upon portraits that zoom right up the subject's nostrils, I think it makes for a unique perspective in this. I think it would also be cool just to see an eye or eyes peering through. I like this idea, I might use it sometime to try it out.

Chasing the Dream?

Okay, I'm really not sure what this has to do with being puzzled. Maybe me being puzzled about why this supposedly represents being puzzled is the trick? So I suppose it does qualify, but in an awfully roundabout way ;) Not the best street shot I've seen, but it is kind of funny to watch him chase that balloon while the guy next to him just looks so bored. What's a cheese steak? That sounds icky.

A Whale of a Puzzle For You

I think the composition here is well put together and I dig the colors, but this just doesn't grab me and I'm having a hard time putting my finger on why. I think maybe some extra negative space at the top might make it feel a little less crowded.

Cool idea, a different take on the puzzled faces we've seen in this challenge. Nice focus on the eyes. I'm glad you decided not to put one of the shadow lines right through the pupil or something.

Natural Sandstone Sculptures

There was another pic that I commented on that kind of reminds me of this one, even though the subjects are completely different. I think this would have done better in this challenge if the texture of the rocks was the focus instead of the shape - more of a close-up would be more "puzzled" to me I suppose. I also love the colors but wouldn't mind if they were a bit more saturated.

Now, where's that corner piece?

I like these sort of natural puzzles. I love the rusty color against the harshness of the ice here.

Reflections in a glass roof

Okay, I feel that this meets the challenge, but I don't think that it is executed well. The yellow bit in the bottom left feels out-of-place and is distracting. Also, I think it could be sharper (but that might be the fever talking). The colors just seem kind of bland to me. Nothing pops about this pic.

Ha, well done! Some people can pull off this trick so well. I really want to try something like this someday.Great composition and I think it turned out quite well.
