I'd have included a bit more of the ground and less of the sky. Looks interesting, I like the houses in the background. 6.

Bad Aphids

This is too funny. I think the composition would have been even stronger if the bug was in the upper right hand corner: it would have put emphasis on the bug running out of the frame. Should be easy to do outside of the rules, since your bug is isolated.
Good shot, and congrats on your top 20 scoring!

Repetition with variations for small child

This is so cool! I like the almost floating, surreal feeling about your image. I've seldom seen lines that string in any image. The various textures and patterns along with a great tonal range make this an absolute favourite. Congrats on your green ribbon, I think it should have been a blue one.

The Shroud

I like the dramatic leading lines and the strong image tilt. The moodyness immediately catches one's eye, and the little sparkle of yellow the flowers bring in gives it an interesting touch. I enjoy looking at this a lot, and I'm trying to learn from you.

It's an awful photo, I know, but it's creative, right?

Not that creative, no. More like most of the challenge entries. 5.

Lol. This is funny because of tranquil.dpchallenge.com . Is the hommage intended?

Glowing Paper

I think I've seen a picture with a similar technique here already. You did a good job, the different brightness levels come out well. For me, the composition is too based on the diagonals, too symmetric, but on the other hand, that fits the more or less regular spiral. Your border is interesting because it goes into the same direction as your main idea for the photo. It would look much nicer without the thin black line every picture has on DPC, for example on a pure white background.
Well done, creative, good execution, not overedited. 10.

I saw a discussion about this technique in a recent forum thread. This one came out neat, but I'm a bit disappointed about how you 'abused'paper and scissors to make it fit the challenge. Um, is the Pentium-thing supposed to be the rock? Why's that?
Two other things that bother me and that you can easily fix after the challenge in photoshop are the slight colour difference between the lower left corner and the background, and also the cables.
Anyway, an interesting picture. 9.

I enjoy this photograph. It's creepy how that one cloak facing the viewer is looking straight into the camera, even though you cannot see a face, or maybe just because of that. I feel the ground should be either completely clean or plain dirty and rough. A filthy, uneven ground would have fit the group best, but I guess you couldn't chose the location. Very interesting.
