Loved this one, Mr. Foo! I'm surprised it didn't finish a fair amount higher, actually.

Damned purple beach :-) Amazing that two of the top 4 images are at the same beach, different viewpoints of it, eh :-) Good going, Doc!

I wouldn't call this "unrelated", actually; for me, opposites are definitely "related" conceptually, for example, and a soft drink has a definite relationship to the need for dental work. But I'm not gonna nitpick this, cool shot.

Seductive Contrast

It's a very nice image :-) I'm not sure what you mean by "added the litho effect"; if you mean you used one of photoshop's filters, the litho filter, then it's not a basic-editing legal shot anyway and it's a good thing you missed the challenge. If you did the effect yourself by playing with curves and levels, that's a different story. But depending on the original image, it is also possible you'd have run afoul of the major elements rule. If the BG was white to begin with, you're probably fine there.

A nice shot. I wish you'd leveled it up visually; everything seems to be running downhill to the right.
