Very dramatic perspective. Your eyes are "screaming" at the viewer. This is intense doc.

Beautiful model, very nice portrait. Like the choice to go b&w.

Has a vawendy style. Like the antique feel and the vignetting.

Turkey enough for 48 days?

Like the scene/composition, like the framing. However, it's overcooked as in too much topaz... Would like to see a more natural version for comparison.

On a longer look, the HDR/Topaz treatment gives this a Norman Rockwell feel...

My top pic. Like that the feast is photographed; like that there are people who will enjoy it. Composition works for the challenge. Wondering what a color version looks like for comparison...

I've never seen an empty Pike's Market. Certainly conveys silence.

Fuck it, I'll submit the same image again except I'm lazier this time around.

This one is actually better in my opinion. The lighting is dramatic with the front high light creating deeper shadows. The background is cleaner than the original. The direction of the eyes and amount of light exposing them creates more tension than the original.

Don't know where this will end up, but I'm liking it for the challenge.
