All Line UP!

I'm guessing this is train judging by the forum discussions. I understand the miss understanding and in light of what you were trying to achieve I see the way this meets the challenge well. 7.

Your not wrong - not smiling while wearing those shoes!!

All these foreign uniforms look Greek to me :-)

8. (because it's a good shot)

Veteran Reflections

This is a nice shot that meets the challenge and is getting a 6 from me. However, if this was entered in the other challenge (Reflections Without Mirrors V) I would have given this a 7. But that would have been me. I wouldn't be surprised if you were torn between which challenge to enter. I tell you what, you have taken a shot that easily meets both challenges and have shown that with your title and I'm voting this for it's uniqueness and raising to an 8.

1 out of 21

I usually reserve my high scores for a great capture of many elements important to photography or for an artistic appeal that moves me. However, this gets a 9 for capturing a great shot on the first firing (unless I find out that this was the 29th time they were doing the 21 gun solute ;-) ) Only question, where's the projectile? Sorry, bad joke.

SAM on alert as evening falls, somewhere in the desert...

SAM... wasn't that the same name as the sheep dog that protected the flock from the wolf in a popular cartoon many moons ago? But I'm showing my age though it still shows something formable out there protecting it's flock.

Nice sharp focus on the weapon without loosing too much detail on the background - but enough to make your subject pop. The photo on a whole tells an interesting story that I don't know but can imagine. Overall, I quite like this - 7.

I see a shot like this and the way it's processed and I think of Yo_Spiff. I really like the PP, it meets the challenge nicely but it's the colour that does it for me. 7

Interesting perspective and good use of B&W but I feel your title needs a little more explanation as right now I find it a little offensive. However, I know my lack of knowledge in such things is somewhat poor that I'm voting without my probable prejudice. 6.

* If the title is what I originally thought then I reserve the right to have my vote be recognised as a 2!

Quite a nice composition but a different approach to the PP would have been better for me.
