This clown looks evil with that grin and a hint of red in the eyes. :)
The strong saturation of the colors suits the subject, the light is pretty good. It certainly grabs your attention. 8

The Kite Flyers

Great silhouette, nice tone in the sky and the light shining trough the kite just adds that little bit of depth to keep the image from being totally 2D. Nice one.

The way the vignetting and bg blur works to focus attention on the main subject is great. Also the repetition of the stands adds a lot of depth, that way focussing even more attention on the person in front. Really like the choice for b&w and the quality of the tone and contrast. Only very slight minus are the very light shadows on the right and behind the helmet.
Very cool.

What I like about this photo is the 'covered' look. Hidden behind arms and hair she gives you a sneaky in love look. Maybe I expect too much from such a look but that is what it feels like and what it makes so appealing. :)
Good tech, good tone, good compo, could look at it for a long time. 9 (only because the only one I gave a 10 to is on such a high level for me that no other pic in the challenge gets a 10). :)

This looks so extremely familiar. :)
And better than any of mine... Great compo and I like the old look processing.

Great clos-up portrait with a nice pp style. Steve, is this your work? When you are not pawdrix, please take that as a compliment. I like Steve's work.

Lost

It loos famished and the tone adds a cool (as opposed to warm) deathly tone to it. That horse doesn't look healthy. Is that why he's 'Lost'?

The Bells

I like the reflection and how the light shines on the distant mountain tops, the balance of the exposure.
What I don't like is that it looks very centered.

Low Tide, Sunrise — Nantucket Sound

Cool scene and colors. The sky combined with the land and ripples on the water makes for a very dynamic scene. Wicked amount of distortion on that boat.
