The gradation of the gray in the background is stunning. Purpleblue contrasts well with this, but we all ready know that because that's what the blue ribbon also does. :)
The strange line 1/5th from the bottom, don't know what to think of it. Is it distracting or does it help to add a bit of depth?

Speeding Will Kill You

I wonder if you could sue anyone who is speeding for 'attempting to commit suicide'.
But then again, I am a Speeding criminal and do not attempt to commit suicide so...

Lets derail my thoughts for a moment. Yes great photo, would work well even without a title. The cold tone of the color makes it look really dead. Good work.

Hmm, never drink Absolut Vodka and all these fany tastes are distracting from the pure wodka taste. BUT! But your image makes me wanna go out and by some Aboslut Mandrin. :)

The foreground is a bit busy but besides that it is a great photo. Love the warm orange tone and profile.

Wonderful warm color and profile. Interesting how the sun doesn't blow out more. The beach is just great, as is the rock. The person on it makes it work. Very good.

I'd expect more 'message' from Benneton, but nevertheless it is a great and powerful photo. The body part at the left is a bit distracting / does not correspond with the subject.
The lighting, as ever (it looks like Manny) is interesting. :)

Wonderful photo, so peaceful and innocent.
I wish I could sleep in such a pose. I can come close but I don't fold that easily anymore. :)

Wall of light

The effects of those shadow stripes are always very interesting. I like how it works here and the look on the face is interesting. But the shadow is distracting.

I never could figure out what to use cool tri- and quadtones for, but now I know. Great work.

Waiting Out The Fog

Simply wonderful. The ships seems so out of place and the bird's got a pose to go with that, like 'what the heck?'. And that's what I feel too. Great!
