I was your solo 10, and this was one of my ribbon winners. You used a common piece of tulle to such great dramatic effect, simply by juxtaposing it against rusted barbed wire. Amazing how that juxtaposition transforms the fabric, forces it to represent something, and at the same time forces the barbed wire to represent something. That is what the artist/photographer does: impose meanings on the world around her.

how right you were about the chalk, but this was one of MY ribbon-winners (a fat lot of good that'll do you). It fulfills the challenge with pastel yellow and green, creating a washed-out pastel effect that perfectly fits the mood of this piece, a washed-out urban setting, washed out of hope, washed out of commerce, washed out of notice. But you show us a man whose story must surely be as interesting as any on the tv or movie screen. 10

this is beautiful. You really make this tree come alive. It just glows, shimmers, breathes!

cool. I've never seen an elevator look so sexy! A truly disorienting, epiphanic shot.

I like the strange lighting. It looks like some powerful manmade light source soon after sundown (or before sunrise?). Great composition. But what is that rock thing? I think you should comment more on your photos! :P

love the model and her expression, love the motion blur on the bottom of the dress, love that your pallete is only yellow and red, love the gradation of light on the red.

I don't mind the processing. It creates a dreamy, nostalgic mood. But I think his red shirt should be a little less bright to help the dreaminess. I'd rather have my eyes drawn to him by the composition than by the color.

my kind of picture! I love the texture of the little stones, which complements the round puddle, but which contrasts with the straight-edged shapes in the reflection... and all with pleasing variations of the same color. That leaf in the center might be a problem, though. It demands too much attention!

Nice. Perfect. I love when a portrait subject gets "lost" inside the composition (that's why it's *good* that her face is not brightly lit). DOF turns a potentially distracting background into some vague pleasing shapes.

sorry, but when my monitor was "correctly" calibrated I made a picture too dark for DPC and got blasted, so now I make my monitor too dark! But I gave you a 7 based on the bottom shape alone...
