I like the tones and textures - nice lighting. Would maybe like the chair not quite on the center line.

Dimensional Space

Quite creative! The room doesn't look quite real but it's a surreal picture of sorts so that's OK.

That's a very big blue ball. Like the perspective, the lighting and the shadows. Like the fact that the very big blue ball looks quite odd in this setting.

He's still a cute kid. Looks a lot like his dad, if you ask me. :-) I almost think this needs a bit more room, or less - more of a square crop, maybe, or crop just above the armpit?
Technical
Seems sharpest on his lips and a bit soft on the eye - I'd prefer it the other way 'round. Post processing seems to be very good - by that I mean I can't tell it's been post-processed.
Meets challenge
Yep. Single light source appears to have been used. I do like how the light highlights his curls just "so".
My opinion
More 6s than 5s, more 7s than 4s - I'd say that's pretty good as far as pleasing the "client". I just really like the way he's looking at the camera.

A Glass of Wine with a Bottle to Go

Excellent composition! I especially like that you chose to work from the upper left down into the picture.
Technical
I LOVE the lighting! I particularly like how the bottle pratically disappears in parts, the "blown" bit of the glass where the edge disappears (yes, I do like "blown" bits in pictures sometimes), and the red and it's just-barely-there reflection.
Meets challenge
Definitely meets challenge, and then some.
My opinion
I really like this alot - probably my favorite of yours I've critiqued thus far, and in my humble not-all-that-photographically-educated opinion, this deserved a much higher score.

Well, she was just seventeen, You know what I mean, And the way she looked was way beyond compare.

I like the way you have her positioned in the frame, and the looking over the shoulder angle that you chose. She also happens to be very pretty!
Technical
The spotlight effect, while illegal for DPC, does add interest to this, but I think I'd like to see the original without it. It appears the background color is a bit dull - maybe work with the original with curves and levels, maybe even a bit of color shift, to make the background a bit more appealing color. The lighting seems a bit harsh on her arm, but not sure if that's in the original or an effect of the filter.
Meets challenge
Definitely met the challenge - the line you chose fits perfectly!
My opinion
I like the shot as far as the pose and the placement in the frame quite a bit.

Love the composition! It's quite perfect in my opinion. He's facing the crowd and the shadow is just right. As for the subject, I'm actually kind of fond of woody shots - they're a great learning tool for things like use of lighting, and rather amusing in their own right.
Technical
At first I might have said the lighting is too harsh, that it could be toned down a bit, but really it's pretty good for the shot you chose - stage lighting (as it is set to be here) is generally very harsh like this. The background appears to be a fabric - I like the texture it forms but it could be just a bit smoother, maybe.
Meets challenge
Meets challenge just fine.
My opinion
Congrats on a personal best! It's a good idea well executed, and in my opinion deserved a much better score.

Clever idea, well executed. Like the lighting used and how the mower nearly blends into the floor at the brightest point.

Detail is simply amazing in this shot - super B&W. Would you mind posting the original and your editing steps?

Hmmm - this looks familiar. :-) But is it Concepcion or San Jose? Whichever it is, you captured the subtle colors perfectly!
