I'm having a hard time seeing the conspiracy in this! Sorry, but this doesn't seem to meet the challenge at all. 2.

You took a funny picture in thie context of the challenge. Your image lacks contrast though. You might also give it a try in B&W. 5.

Conspiracy at Sunset

I don't really see the conspiracy in here. The only link to the challenge is the title. 2.

Banana Farmer

I like the light tones in your image. The sepia tint gives it a warm touch, which is however broken by the farmer's cold, hypnotic stare at the viewer. It makes me feel slightly unconfortable, as if he was saying "So, you were trying to steal these?".

A Mother's Love

This image has a lovely dreamy feeling to it. The composition works well and conveys a sense of calm and peace. You did a good job with the exposure, too! The colour tone is too red for my taste though.

Hugo Spear

The wide angle has a really cool effect on this picture. I like how Hugo breaks all the lines there are and stands out from the background - good dodging&burning by the way. The complete lack of detail on his trousers is interesting.

Like Father, Like Son

I'll comment on this without having read Artyste's critique, so - sorry if I repeat what he said :)
I like your initial idea for the challenge, showing that father and son wear the same shoes reveals a certain family bond between them. However, I feel that your execution failed to show that idea sufficiently to the viewer. Maybe a different arrangement would have shown the similarities in design and the difference in size better.
Since you shot this in your living room, I guess that you used natural light. That light source however was too harsh, resulting in the blown-out (no pixel-information) white shoes. If you had reduced the light with curtains, or taken the shot in a different part of the room, the lighting would have been much more gentle and diffuse, thus allowing a more emotional, less cold shot.

I'm surprised this finished in the hundreds, too. The leading lines are really stunning, and the cool perspective and tilt are what give it the 'wow'-effect. Do you mind sharing the reason for you title, 'Jonas'?

Summer's End — Sunrise

I'd say this is bear_music's... feels slightly familliar :) Nice colours, good darkness/light balance. The boat would add much more to the athmosphere if it was wooden. 8.

Cathedral of Colour

Weird! Good capture of what you were given. I suppose this will do very well with the average voter. It does with me :) 10.
