The curve of the road really leads the eye on this one. I am not a big fan of road shots, but your colors are very nice in this one. Also I like the slight distorion of the car.

Great toning on this one. One of the best I've seem so far. 9

Drawing the Battle Lines

Nice use of color to try to make a duotone, but there is too much color. You have white, black, green and purple. The image is really nice and sharp, and it is excellent compositionally. However, for all those others who tried to stick with two tones, I can't score this one higher than a 6 as a courtesy to those who really went out of their way to keep their images within the guidelines. In another challenge though this would be a real contender.

Harry The Egg Man

Too much was put into the comp. You need to simplify. Focusing on the egg shapes and Harry would have made a tighter comp. Contrast is good, and the emotive quality of Harry is very endearing. Anyway, the background left in made the image too busy. Still I give it a 7

Very nice still life. I like the way the two background bottles meet in the center of the foreground bottle. Your composition and toning are really done. This image makes me want to try to take one just like it. 10

Image is not well focused and the choice of subject is lacking.

A nice idea. The image is underexposed, though, and the candle flames are blown out. The tone matches the idea, but the overall detail is lacking, as well as too much put in the image. Need to simplify, get better exposure, and focus needs to be better.

Reminds me of a classic Hemingway portrait. REally nicely done. Like the leading lines of the trellis. 8

I'll bet this looks really stunning in color. Person is really underexposed. Frankly, the composition was very strong, but the person took away from the undulating landscape and the subtle tones in the background.
