Excellent work, you pulled in an amazing tonal range here. I know you spent a lot of time on this image, but you know what makes it such a good image? That you can't see at all that you have spent so much time post processing it. You did a very good job working the eyes, just enough dodging to keep the details in, especially around he white of the eyes, where a lot of people tend to dodge far too much detal out of them. My hat off to you, I want this one to ribbon!

Perfect photo! This is one that stands out and the work you have put into it has paid off more than well, all I can say is WOW!. Wonderful lighting, composition and post processing. The girl's stance is very natural, amazing, I would give it an 11 if I could, but I can't so a 10 will have to suffice! It has a kind of Sonifo feel to it :)

It does depict complexity for sure, but the image itself doesn't really have that kick to it which makes stand out from the pack. I probably wouldn't have shot this straight on but chosen a different angle and definitely a different background.

Taking a Break

Taking a break from a killer day :) The B&W works well, the graininess also comes over okay for me. It's a little gruesome though which usually doesn't work so well in DPC so I will be interested in seeing how this ends up. Also the tie to complexity might be a little too vague here.

Good subject, I'm guessing The Netherlands or Germany for this one :) The perspective is good, however I would probably have changed the angle a little so that you only have the bikes in the frame and not that empty space in the top right corner.

Grandpa's Watch

A suitable subject for the challenge for sure, however the lighting is unbalanced with more light coming from the right side leaving the left side, which contains the main complexity of the watch, is too dark.
