great texture and contrast. She has a genuine look of concern. My prediction: top 3.

Battle 1: Thor the Viking v.s Bubba the Biker

Comment:
This is extremely bizarre and different for this challenge. The vignetting and post process is excellent. The wide angle works well too. I almost wish it was just a smidge more morbid and maybe a more drab day in the background. I do like that the Viking guy looks like there was a tiring fight but there are no signs of the fight (blood etc). I'll come back later with either a 6 or 8 :] - undecided.

great tree, great color and simplicity. - a really pretty shot.
Only criticism: I sorta wish I could see where the tree hits the ground.

Wowsers - I've never heard of such a thing. I just wish that flower wasn't behind him like that.

The complimentary colors are striking - the comp is great too. The focus seems a bit shallow which makes me wonder if the butterfly might be better cropped out - Having said that, it's an impressive shot with him in it :) 7

A more basic background and less centered composition would make this stronger.

For basic that's pretty impressive. I've seen irises at teh top before - perhaps again ? :)
