I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing this as polka dots. The white dots look more like sensor noise with a Threshold filter applied to the area.

The dots seem too manufactured here - I think of printed or sewn dots (or dots on an animal) when I think of polka dots, not so much lighting through holes. That's personal preference, I know, but that's how voting goes. The DOF is a bit shallow, with the blurry nose becoming a bit of a distraction. Good composition. Perhaps color would've worked better to make it a bit more interesting?

Well, there's polka dots and plenty of color and it's pretty sharp... but I'm not sure I understand what's going on in the image. Also, the light seems uneven, like on-camera flash.

Good use of polka dots, but it's not a very well-taken image. Seems like either noise, noise reduction, or motion blur (or all three?) is making it a bit soft, and it seems oversharpened. Also, it looks like you sharpened after adding the border, creating a white halo.

This is like something out of "I, Robot." Nice, but nothing too special. Good angle.

Great studio shot, with good tones and sharpness. A bit too centered, and not enough of a "wow" factor. Still, 7

Cute, but I'm not liking the centered composition. Very nice tones, very nostalgic.

ETA: I gave this a 7. Congrats on your placement.

This is completely unoriginal, but it's well shot. A bit soft inside the glasses, but I'm assuming you couldn't really do anything about that.

The DOF is a bit too shallow here, with the bow a bit soft. Also, not fond of the centered composition. Great pattern and good random-looking arrangement of buttons. The green adds a nice contrast.

I like the sharpness and colors, but the tilt is unpleasant to me, and it's not really too original. 7
