Looks like some other world - a science fiction image for sure. Works well for Mystery as well. Nice catch!

It is a mystery isn't it? Strong emotive image you've put together here, at least for parents. We've all been there. Technically it's put together just fine. Well done!

This looks like an image from the Myst (computergame) series. Nice capture! Good luck in the challenge.

Big points for humor! ;^) You've actually given some thought to the way the final image came out as well. I say that because the subjects (hitchhiker and sign) are well positioned in the frame, the image is well focused with a good DOF and well-balanced lighting. Even the sky cooperated for you. I'd wish you luck, but I don't think you'll need it. Congrats on a nice image and I'm sure a nice score.

The expression on the bikers face matches your title 110%! ;^) This is a fun image and it works well for this challenge. Composition is good, lighting/exposure is fine, only thing I would like to see is maybe a bit more contrast (and/or deepen the blacks a little). Good luck in the challenge.

A very strong statement that is befitting of the challenge. Love your title as the photo tells the story, particularly considering the theme of this challenge. You've done a nice job in capturing this shot with correct exposure and a good, sharply focused subject. I do find the background a little distracting (especially the competing points of light). Best of luck to you in the challenge.

It will be interesting to see how this "political statement" type image does with the voters. I imagine an inverted bell curve - either they'll love it or hate it. ;^) Personally, I like both the "statement" and the image. The exposure on this is right on the money. Very challenging shot to get just right. Good detail in the face, and sharp as a tack. Well done! My top pick for this challenge.

Need to work on lighting (multiple light sources that are diffused/bounced will help). The light glare on the glass is harsh (glasses also look dirty).
Subject matter is a matter of personal preference, but I find the layout here a bit static and kind of "ho-hum". JMO of course. Best of luck to you, and keep at it...
