love the distorted perspective to provide a great metaphor for the 'story'

the oversharpening really impacts this image - lots of jagged edges all over - but a pretty good image otherwise - good contrast, good tones, good composition

nice colors and sharpness - it needs to be closer to really have the newspaper feel

This one really jumps for joy. The background colors and textures work really well. The focus on the girl's face, the brightness of the rainbow, and the bright white of her top make this a special image. My only negative comment is that I really don't like the blur in her legs and feet. The blur in the rainbow streamer works great, however.

this is very cool - the darkness of the image, the spooky glow from the greens and reds, the brightness of the rainbow on the drop, and the neat textures all work
