Blondie

I love the color of the wood. I think it would benefit from having the right side cropped a bit, removing the distracting light at the side of the building, and bringing the subject more off-center. Her outfit overpowers the blond hair, and I\'m suspecting that may have effected the score. I like the mystery of this shot: Why is she dressed like that in that location? Why is she leaning like that against the wall? What is on her mind?

Yellow Magic Orchestra

Love the colors here, and the textures. The sign does appear to be levitated. Perhaps that is the 'magic'. I think it was lost on most voters though. The image is great, I think the voters just didn't connect it well with the challenge.

The Headstones

Comment:
Black and white suits this image very well. I like the composition and contrast. It's quite sad to think of a family losing three young sons. Can't do it in basic editing, but now that the challenge is over, I'd recommend reducing the sharpening effect around the tree tops.

"Jane's Addiction," and Where it's Led Her
by Blue Moon

Comment:
That's such an interesting story. I think the photo is excellent, and certainly does show the result of addiction. A trash can is a very symbolic place for an addict. This really makes a statement.

I can't really tell where she is from looking at the image, though. During voting, I thought she was coming out of a manhole. I don't understand what is covering the top of her head either. That doesn't diminish the impact of the image, but I think it did effect your score.

Michelle, she looks like a doll -- a beautiful collector's doll! I love the processing on this. Very charming image.

H O M E : Flinders Street Tunnel 9:50:55 am

Very interesting and beautiful photo. It shows how something or someone (e.g. a homeless person) can be invisible to masses of people passing by, yet so distinctly visible to the artist and camera. Congratulation on the ribbon.

Vertigo...

Comment:
Great detail and light. And the angle and perspective give it a lot of excitement.

Eye of the Tunnel

Sure does look like a big red eye. Very dramatic shot.
