OK, this deserves much more than one, less than very helpful, comment. I love the death stare and processing. Nicely done.

I suppose I should have recognized this as potentially yours. Nice job on the top ten finish.

My top pick of the challenge. I am unable to verbalize why. Nice one, Niall.

I was fascinated by this image. Intriguing mix of patterns and lines, distortion and grid. Nicely done.

I can certainly see why you included the right portion of the image in the whole, but I might have experimented in processing to bring up the vibrancy and warmth of that side to balance things with the left. But, who knows?

Such an interesting cast of characters. Creative idea well done.

Unchained Melody

This is excellent, Lydia. For what it's worth -- While three arms would come in "handy" (except when shopping for shirts, coats, etc), you might consider using the Transform feature of PS. I generally use it in the RAW processor -- draw a "horizontal" lines along the table top and horn and a vertical on the mic, and, presto, PS squares everything up.
