I liked this enough to give it a 7, but it seems soft.

Super cool! The cobweb (in this case) is a detraction. 7, if you had closed the cobweb it would have been an 8.. Nice in any case, I'm sure this will do very well..

Damn, that's amazing. 8 for sheer "I've never seen one that bad"-ness...

Superb, and sad.. Pure 8

Took me a while to figure out where I'd seen this style...

This image strongly evokes ..

Would not be surprised to see that denbote was behind this one..

Very interesting, lots going on here.. I think this should do very, very well.. This is an 8 for me.

ETA, I've just noticed Texas written on the windshield..

I'm thinking that this very well might be Yo_Spiff's entry. This would explain why he is posting such high scores in the thread..

If this isn't Yo_Spiff's image, feel free to laugh at me publicly or privately. :)

...
Now, I've just got to figure out which one is Jeb's, and why he's not scoring nearly as well as expected...

.. Not a weather challenge. And no, I don't think the dog is particularly "weathered".

Cute though. On creative interpretation you get a 5..

This must be vawendy.. Yes a creative entry - hence the 5... But really, it's a beautiful snapshot, well cropped and nicely processed.

Still doesn't strike me as strongly meeting the challenge. Hence the fact that I gave a 5 on this. I do think it's nice, and under other circumstances I might have voted at least a 6 and perhaps as high as a 7.

Still, do note that there is a huge blown spot on the dog....

FWIW, I love the use of the frame, it's superb, but just not enough to really compel me here..

Sorry Wendy, you know I love your work in general, but this just didn't do it for me.

Cheers,
Cory..
