This overlay is very flattering. I love the muted colors.

Lit From Behind

Great idea. The different fibers look so cool. The colors almost make it look like stained glass. The photo as a whole lacks something, but I can't put my finger on it.

Still, a very cool abstract.

I Walk Because I Cannot Fly

The processing looks a bit off, but holy emotion. I almost cried reading the title. I love the black and white choice, and I actually don't mind that he's headless. I think if he had a head, the wing would be less noticeable. The power of this image relies heavily on the viewer noticing the broken wing.

As for the processing, it looks like maybe the bird itself was maybe out of focus and in turn you over sharpened it trying to bring it in? The goose has a slight halo glow. Maybe this is a small crop from a larger image, and its lost some detail.

Meh, I still love the shot!

Woman on fire

I can't believe I'm saying this...

More cleavage... Something about the cleavage being cut off there makes me want to push the left edge of the frame aside. I think the crop is just too tight.

I like the overall colors and the smoke, but it got me wondering how people get their smoke to be whiter. Yours is a bit gray. I'm sure you can adjust it using Selective Color and adjusting the grays, but in basic you'd probably screw up a bunch of other colors. Even in advanced it would be hard. Hmmm

Miller's Inferno

There's lots of seemingly cool things going on in this photo, but I don't know what to look at. I can't tell what the "Miller" object is. The reflection of the fire around the logo is pretty cool though, heh.

A Watched Pot Boils

Much of the pot gets lost against the black background. A second, dimmer light for the background would add some depth. Composition is a little tight too.

Simply Salad

It's interesting that this finished dead last. I think there's others that placed better that are far worse. Don't get me wrong, your focus was off, and it is a bit dark, but I can still see it hanging on a restaurant wall composition wise.

This is one of those images that makes you wonder about the psychology of DPC. Was it the technicals? Was it the abstractness? Was it simply that people didn't think that salad was a recipe worthy food? It's not THAT bad... weird.

Holy shoehorn! Looks like a forest fire to me.

Beautiful image none-the-less. It would make a great black and white too.

I'm sure it's perfectly safe to park cars under other cars, but if I were a customer and saw my car under another car, I'd have a mild stroke right there in your shop.

Absolutely one of your best. It's so solidly put together, and makes you smile. The sign above puts the cherry on top.
