I'm really impressed by this - inspiring catch. Great riot of shapes, with those little touches of red wiring and red lights, and that bird. Nicely seen.

This takes liver spots to a whole new level. (honest, my first reaction :)) This portrait holds a lot of interest for me, but I can't shake the feeling that this is just a tad *too* dark for me to really love it. Now I like other really dark shots, so what is it about this one I don't like? Could be just simple subject matter - I want to see all the lines of his face, but much of the details are disappeared here. I really don't know - I'm a bit on the fence with this one.

Tragically underrated - I gave this a 10. Fantastic abstraction, a little bit Cubist, but definitely impressionistic. All the more impressive you got this in camera. Great work!

Great emulation of the impressionist style. One of my favorites for the challenge.

The shadows will soon converge. Very tasty interplay of lights and darks, here.

Great nostalgic feel to this. How can you not have a picture of a carousel without blur? It was made for blur!

Very cool abstraction of the human face. Now I really need to take a couple of steps back, 'cause you're really creeping me out. :)

Very intent, resolute. A portrait that effectively expresses character.

Nifty wheel, half-buried among the grasses like that.
