"Use a colorful impact to offset your subject from the rest of the photograph." There's not really any "rest of the photograph" here, IMO.

"Use a colorful impact to offset your subject from the rest of the photograph." This is a lovely image of a rose, but the entire frame has been filled with "subject", there is nothing the red is being offset from or by. For that reason this really doesn't answer the challenge, no matter how fine it may otherwise be. A 5 from me, for it is surely colorful so you got half of it :-)

Nice title. I had come into this challenge expecting to feel negative about shots that used a color surround to emphasize a colorless subject, but this shot has sown me it is a perfectly valid approach if used well. Which it certainly is here...

This is totally bizarre! The title is priceless in its deadpan approach. It gives me a "WTF?" moment. The whole concept here is so off-the-wall I can't stop grinning. Technically, I'm not thrilled, the composition seems off, the whole thing's a tad flat, but you by GAWD have an actual "burst" of color here :-) Good score from me.

Your mom is Kathy Bates? Wow! Nice shot :-) Nothing spectacular, but cozy and mothery and good for a high score from me.

This is very fine in B/W work IMO. I wish that rectangular shape bottom left had been eliminated.

Essence of motherhood here :-) The bright hat rim upper left is a problem that easily could have been fixed in advanced editing.

There's a lot to like here, and one very big not-to-like: the way here head bleeds into the BG keeps me from ranking this as high as I might otherwise, though I stills core it well. Rim-light on the baby is wonderful.

Another fine example of woddydom; they seem to be making a comeback, unless this is Ken, in which case it's a local phenomenon. Anyway, I like this one a lot, there's genuine transferred emotion here :-)
