Gave this a 7 the first time around -- bumping it up to a 9. For some reason this just works with me, and I really can't tell you why, because I haven't figured it out myself. (I'm not crazy about the top and bottom border, but I don't usually vote on borders)

very nice work

Soul Departed

Very clever idea and well done--would have liked for the soul to have had a little more space to depart; cutting it off on the edge it a little distracting. It's silly to say this, but if the smoke was actually exiting the picture there, it would be ok. but since it swirls back in on top, it looks like it was cut off accidentally.

anyway, that long winded addition has nothing to do with the score, just a thought. 8

Requiem For a Broken Jewel

Ok, this was hard to view--and was hard to vote on it because it bothered me so much (I voted awhile ago--just adding a comment now.)

There are two things that work for this picture. 1st was your title. I don't usually score on a title, but the title was wonderful. 2nd a foremost was the angle. Getting the shot from above with the shadows of the leaves was brilliant. Actually, now that I'm commenting, I'm moving it from an 8 to a 9--very well done.

Desperation

I'm actually having a hard time viewing this challenge. I'm finding many of the pictures disturbing in content, but uninteresting or poorly photographed.

This one, however, made me say "whoa!" as soon as it came up. It definitely made an impact.

On closer examination, I don't care for the grain, and the feet feel like they should either be more silhouetted or have more definition. That being said, I really don't think that this is a photo that needs to be perfect. IMO, the main purpose of this photo is to evoke a response--and you did that. 8 for creating a photo that makes you sit up and take notice.

awesomely cool photo!! Absolutely love the colors

Just moved it up to a 10 -- this is a magnificent shot. I'd love to see the original to find out how much processing was done.

Interesting shot, but you'll probably get hit by the fact that they wouldn't have hatched anyway because they're not fertilized. Nicely done!
