Agree with this wholeheartedly. I'm saddened to see this do so poorly, such a subtle but impactful image.

Your technique has yielded a strange Cubist metamorphosis of these animals - it's quite fascinating to look at. Started at a 9, bumping to 10.

Very colorful and appealing - I'd be interested to know what this actually is.

Like a cross between a Toulouse Lautrec and a Degas - effective motion blur and lighting - like she's a dancer on a candlelit stage. Beautiful - started at a 9, bumping to a 10.

Great - nice colorful progression through the frame, complemented by all those lilting notes.

The are millions of ants in this picture! The big shadowy guy is just a hint for all those who can't have trouble seeing the swirling armies all around him. Well, at least that's how I see this image :) - I'd be interested to know how you got this effect - is it all just noise, pixelation, or what? Cool effect, in any case. :)

This is really great - the strong rich colors, the swirling motion capture - I especially love that marvelous long sweep from the top of the older girl's head down her arm and seemingly out through the sweep of both their skirts. You could not have gotten the rhythm of the lines better if you had *drawn* this. Tremendously emotive.

A blurry picture of a mess! I like this, especially the oversat quality to the colors. My only quibble is that I personally would prefer to see the shot rotated a bit counter clockwise to straighten the most dominant and noticeable line in the composition - the long cabinet. But then, maybe that would counteract the "messy" dynamic too much... Well, anyway, I think this is a good shot for this challenge, gave it a 9.
