Might be time for a new monitor, scooter.

The tone, especially in the vase is awesome. I have spent ages trying to get that exact pale bronze tone, without success. Better spit out the details, Amy J Hopp ... we have ways of making you talk!

God, these colours colors are awful.
Bear in mind, I am colourblind colorblind (really, I am)

I dunno. Maybe it's just some hippy hippy shake?

From the thumb, I thought he'd been pierced in the nads by a dart! Don't send me a Valentine's ... please. But then presumably you had better options available anyway.

It is beautiful and I can't tell you why (because I don't know). I do know that I could while away a good 5 minutes or more just looking at it and teasing little threads out here and there to see what I can knit with them.

I liked the other one better, but these mad yellow things are surprisingly appealing. I want this one to turn out to be the fender of a Ferrari, but I'm not quite sure that's right.

Are you being carped at over this not being sufficiently Ansel Adams-ish? But I suppose he took portraits as well? (I wouldn't know ... his more celebrated works are not to my taste, so I don't think I'd want to see anything of his in a genre that he was not famous for.)

Anyway, I don't actually care at all about the challenge topic, and I really do like your photograph. 10.

Just surreal enough to be irrational. Just irrational enough to be surreal. I like the circular array of objects: the dark void; the brick wall; the shadow; the light (both compelling and dangerous, as befits a worthy attraction); and of course the mildly android-looking protagonist with the magical lipstick glasses. Everything means something here, there's not a wasted photon, and everything's connected to everything else. It's like a game of scissors-paper-stone in which each element of the photograph is 'stronger' than something and 'weaker' than something else. And happily, there is no solution; it's irrational.

The most interesting photograph in the challenge. I therefore give it a 10, plus the Order of the Thumb.
