I like this shot, and this style of shot a lot. It's well done. I think the lines created by the trees is appealing. Hope it does well.

Love this! Can't say anything else about it.
Are the stars still points because the shutter wasn't open long enough for the trails to become apparent?

I love the ruggedness of the bird in this. It just looks so perfectly... irregular I suppose.
I also have a bit of a cloud fetish.
I really like this one a lot.

Hahaha! It's not often I see a shot that genuinely makes me laugh. That's excellent. I love the motion blur of the leg and wheel, yet the clarity and crispness of the dog's face. Brilliant!

Yaaaaaaaaah!!!!

Amusing capture. Humorous subject. Nice composure. I've no doubt who did this (I think it's mostly cause the eyes remind me of this image //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=895565 )

The only little nit pick I have about it is that it seems a little over saturated... It's fitting to have a red face for this (I'm assuming you're going for the drunken farming fighting, um, 'theme'?) but his hat seems over-vibrant to me. (I think you might get a few comments about this?)
I wonder if his eyes are a little too clear actually. For a normal portrait they're perfect. But, if I'm right with my assertion of him meant to be brawling after a few too many, shouldn't his eyes be maybe a little blood shot? Or perhaps he's just defending his farm?
Hmm.
I like it. I'd vote it around 6 I think.

Wow, Steve. Awesome score! Well done. Congrats on the new PB! Saw this and thought 'wow.'
Did you edit for this effect? Or was it from tinkering that you realised the potential?
It's excellent.

Wow. Excellent shot, and well deserved 7.x! I'm surprised you got so many below-5's to be honest. It was a great idea, well executed, and in terms of the challenge... only the rolled up sleeve on your left arm is central. It's about as far from dnmc as my left hand!
I loved the bandages on your right hand. Very nice touch.

The only slight criticism I'd have with it was that when I looked at it your marriage ring was a little prominent. Ninjas woudln't be married I'd've thought :)

They don't have your receding hairline yet :P
It's interesting (at least I think it is) that you used B&W here. Was it because you were trying to emphasise the eyes? Are they different colours in the colour version?
Regardless excellent take on the challenge.
