Clever title and nice composition. I think you handled the exposure on this image quite nicely, given the bright reflection off the surface of the water.

Broken car, spine and clavicle - An exercise in extraction

What a horrific scene. I say the passengers are lucky to be alive. The flipped car is missing its wheels. Photo fits well with this theme, unfortunately. Sharp and well exposed.

Fallen but Redeemed

Clever presentation and wonderfully creative! Scores well artistically, and there is nothing that I would suggest for improvement, technically.

One other comment. I wonder how this would look against an orange or yellow-orange backdrop...or perhaps an ivory backdrop. I think the red works, but to me it clashes with the theme of redemption.

That's 7 years bad luck for you! :P

Nice composition. Agree with title. I think the border works very well here.

Pencil's broken...Spirit is not!

Very catchy presentation. :)

I like the frame. Some I suspect will comment negatively on it. Overall the lighting was a bit problematic in this shot. The light is a bit harsh, and there's quite a bit of fall-off, with resulting uneven illumination. Colors are vibrant in the foreground, but along with the light, fades away.

Leaving a trail of broken hearts

Excellent creativity, and well executed. I like the framing and layout. The red color is appropriate for the theme and the message. From a technical point of view, I wonder if a soft, diffused light source from directly overhead might have worked better in softening up or eliminating the shadows. The directional lighting from the right side is a bit harsh.

Appears to be glass. Quite interesting. Not sure how you set this up. Would love to read the explanation. Lighting is somewhat harsh. Gives this a raw, gritty feel overall, which I find to be effective.

Looks like a stroller in the ditch. Stark, contrast tastefully adjusted. I think this is an appropriate interpretation of the challenge. Wonder if a bit of toning could give this image more emotion, perhaps a steel blue. Of course I like it the way it is.

The Curse

I hope this is not lost on too many DPC'ers. I think you did a creative job interpreting the theme. Perhaps the red channel is a bit oversaturated but doesn't significantly detract from the quality of the picture. Well done.
