Looking at this I feel exactly as I would if I were really standing there - stop a moment, have a look around, get my bearings and decide in which direction to go: cross the brook here, or go further along the bank to that bridge? The "busyness" is true to life.

It is a funny idea, but not "I'd give it a 10" funny. It certainly doesn't offend me, nor would I frown at it. Don't know if it would have struck voters as good for double take in particular. I'm interested to see this idea depicted from a more level perspective with the objects, instead of from above, and maybe place it in some sort of context that told more of the story. Just suggestions, don't know if ultimately they would work or not. Boy, this is a wordy "reaction" - I'll stop now. :)

Very subtle - I like how you brought out the idea that your sentinels are in a prison of sorts with all the bars and lines around them.

I admit I would have preferred to see the umbrella more in the foreground for this shot, but it's a great idea and you didn't stint on the b&w portion of the task - very nice range of tones.

Creative subject for the challenge - don't envy you painting all those sparks!

Window

The reflection of the building facade in the window has that distorted look like a home movie being played on a projector screen. Well-seen extra content in an ordinary subject. I think you're right - egads, has posthumous been reincarnated as the spawn of bucket and Melethia?

Crop out Neptune, my eye - he's gazing down right at the boy! Great composition.
