My first impulse is to dismiss this image but then I am drawn back to it again. There is something charming about it. I will return. 6 on my first pass.

Beautiful indeed. Being a hog for detail I would prefer a bigger size. Otherwise a very nice capture. A 6 on my first pass.

This is an image with great potential. Personally I would have prefered color so as to give the tongue its more natural hue, only because it is the most outstanding part of the composition. However, outside of that minor observation this is indeed a very appropiate capture which exemplifies pain and discomfort. I take the desire to blow out some tones as part of a presentation effect and here we lean on the viewer to reconstruct these areas. The impact of the image is immediate. 6

Cute little fellow. A tighter focus would have given this image a stteper edge in the challenge. However, a hard capture to come by.

A great b/w with lovely tones. 6 on my initial pass. The pain here is simply alluded but better than seeing a real wound.

A very nice photo but too small to compete in a challenge where everybody else is taking advatange of the maximum size. 6
