Clearly a very good portrait shot - some won't like your interpretation of the brief but a nice shot nonetheless.

I like the perspective and angles here .

Nice and simple - I really like the way you have nested the cutters and not been tempted to have them completely central to one another.

Nice shot. For me, I would've like to have either seen a bit more of the background or have pushed up the black point to obliterate it completely. The fact that is is just visible but nly in places is a bit distracting to the eye. 6.

This is one of those images that looks better the more you looking at it - bumping it up from a 6 to a 7.

An interesting image - I have no experience in this sort of photography so I don't know how this compares to what is possible.

Great bokeh! I think the central star could be a tad brighter but the background is really great.

Simple but effective. The creases in the background are a little distracting but a nice image nonetheless.

Into the Night

Taken slightly to the left of the 'Night Reflections' image by another photographer... I'll assume a school project or something similar and try to score this image on its merits.

I think the day / night dichotomy is the primary interest in this image and as such I don't think you pull that off as well as the other image which captures that more interestingly. Otherwise I think the foreground composition is actually a little more interesting.

It's a great photo - it won't be everybody's cup of tea for this challenge, but technically I think it is excellent.
