You look so much like Walter White (from Breaking Bad) in that center image!

Very intriguing set.

Gotcha!

I've tried for this shot several times, and never have managed anything this good yet.

Indeed, in deed!

This is maybe the most natural, and wonderful shot of this scene I've ever found.

Simply love it.

Incredible Image. Instafave. You are now one of my very few tens that I have chosen in my years on this site.

Thank you.

I think these are both really great images, especially the top image.

I'd like to see this subject again sometime - sorry you finished badly, but that was a challenge problem, not a photography problem. :)

You're welcome.

Seriously though, you had the order right - and you had a subject.

I don't really think the forum discussions had much of an impact on your score - if anything they may have helped you, since many of the top ten images were much more likely to be affected by my comments in the thread, given that they were actually further from the topic than you were, at least according to the discussion that took place.
