That's a thin slice there! :-) Fun title and nice find for a subject piece. The blown highlights on the "ball" is going to cost you a tad probably.

Wolf Creek Pass

Tunnel shots are cool and I've done a couple. I'm trying to figure how you did this without any motion blur. High shutter speed? Personally, I like the light trails and streaks that come with motion blur for shots like this, but this is ok too. Does seem like this needs a levels adjustment as the highlights are dirty gray/brownish.

Gritty texture, yet still interesting. The dark brown tones are ok...did you try any other colors, or B&W?

Very nice way to illuminate the filaments of the lightbulb. It also helps that I really like blue/black combos. :-) Well done!

I figured we'd see a few like this in the challenge, or at least this approach. What I like about this is the NON-use of a plain white or black background. Would like to see both pieces in focus like the one on the right is (left seems to be a little farther back and the back of the curls are OOF). Best of luck to you in the challenge.

The Vortex

Slinky's are always good for this type of challenge. I like how you've positioned this, rather than taking the over-used tunnel type shot. Not sure how the purple color was introduced...makes it feel a bit noisy. Still, a very nice shot overall. Good luck.

Perilous crossing

I like this. Looks like an interesting location. The theme of this works fine for me regarding the challenge it's entered in - although I imagine it's not on the mark for everyone. It's a little busy. Also a tad subdued on tonal range (short on highlights IMO). Still...worthy of a 7 for it's uniqueness and comp (I voted earlier and just commenting now). Good luck in the challenge.

Coming back around to comment, and I think I scored this too low originall with a 7. Giving you a slight bump as I really like how you've brought out the details on this, yet I can still appreciate the velvet feel the rose petals must have. Well done!

Barbed wire without the barb. :-) I like the colortones. A wee bit of noise introduced in post (probably) that may get a ding or two from some voters. I tossed a 7 your way on this the first go around (just commenting now). Good luck in the challenge.

Hey, this is cool. Looks like a skull or side view of a brain. :-) Nice texture and great use of lighting to bring out the details. Same technique would work well for the Low Key challenge.
