Vey clever invertion, the hand looks like a positive with underlighting, making the doorknob look very ominous indeed. Nice crop and drama .

I like the composition and the colors, but when I blew it up the blisters on the statue jumped out at me. They look like pustules! I like the lighting and the DOF gives that sense of letting go but the surface of the statue cost the image points.

Classic 1930's (2 or 3 I think ) Mercedes, before it became associated with Benz. Better view of the car here. //www.pbase.com/image/25970924
One of the most beautifull cars ever created IMO.

Nice and simple. Good execution. I do wish the light didn't fall off quite so quickly in the top of the envelope. Best so far in the story teling group.

Strong concept, but since I am a fetishist about keystoning..... Other than that a nice image.

This is not a profound image but at least it's nice to see something that looks like it was shot for this challenge.

Nice exposure, but the black reflected in the top of the ring makes it look rather ominous. If you were to shoot it again I would have lit either the area behind your hand or the area reflected in the ring. As it is the dark tone is repeated and the sense of moving from one state to another is blunted. Good focus and I like the contrast between you palm and the smoothness of the metal.

I'm not sure if it's just my monitor or this image but I wish the lower half of this drop had the contast and focus of the top half (perhaps a peice of black paper or dark clothing held just out of camera range could have given that dark streak and contrast, brining the entrapped bubbles to life). Nice framing and tonal balance.

The busy backround didn't help your image tell this story.

Beautiful shot. If it scores lower than you expect don't take it as a rip on this image, it will be because others like me didn't see the tie in to letting anything go here. Never the less I love the the play of the purple to tan to warm grey of the backround. I wish the tenacles in the foreground were a bit crisper.
