This would be great for a horror movie. Very creepy feel to it. 10

'Til I'm Blue in the Face

I gave this a 7. I think the image went well with the saying. The stare is really disconcerting. I think what might have gotten you a better score is if instead of drawing a pattern you made the whole face blue. I like the tight crop around the ears but would have included the rest of the forehead and chin.

First let me say that you deserved a much higher score for this. Great perspective! I love the way it just vanishes into the sky. The colors are perfect. Great title tie in too. I would have given this a 9.

Awesome shot! Top 10 finish! Way to go dude! Obviously you don't need any criticism on this shot. Perfect angle and lighting.

I see the rhythms in the line placement. This is a nice setup but not really eye catching. The things that could be improved (don't take this the wrong way) would be using dishes that were newer looking, you can see the scratches at the bottom of the bowl as well as a small spot (or stain) on the side of the largest plate. Also, maybe a matching blue background. I didn't score this challenge, but would have given you a 5.

Very cool shot! The colors are great as is the focus. The only fault I can find is the very bright white of the background with the blow out in the top left corner (my left when looking at it). I didn't vote this challenge but would have given it a 7.

Congrats on your ribbon! My cousin competed in this (3rd place high school girls). She had a blast. You really captured the excitement. Great shot!

Reminds me of a catalog photo. This wouldn't hold my interest much except as an advertisment for a collectable. My husband's a big Nascar fan, me not so much. Technically for this type of image I don't think you're supposed to have shadows. The crop works well. Overall, a good commercial image.

I gave this a 6. There is a lot that could be improved on in this one, but that's true of most newspaper shots. Since the baby seems to be the focus it would have been nice to see more of his/her face. The focus also seems to be a bit soft.
