Hmmm, I have a problem in voting for this one, as I haven't got a clue what I am looking at, nor how it meets the challenge.

Dirt on White

I find this a bit stark and dull.

What lies beneath

Compositionally an uncomfortable shot to view - it seems that this is just a quick snapshot, with no prior conception of what the end photograph would look like.

Focus, exposure etc are fine, but the composition doesn't work for me.

Red Fields of Sugarcane

I am not particularly keen on your post-processing. The canes actually change colour as they hit the horizon, and the horizon itself seems tobe showing signs of chromatic abberation. I suspect that you have boosted the contrast level a great deal - personally I would have prferred a more subtle approach.

I was so suprised to see that this photo wasn't in the top ten - never mind so far down the rankings. I was very impressed by it - the texture, graininess and darkness add to the overall sense of sadness, desperation,seediness. I find it powerful, and it certainly had the most profound effect on me of any photo in the challenge.

I was sorry to see this hadn't done better with the voters. For me it really did provide an illustration of an idea of the moment of death, and I gave it one of my higher marks.

I am not keen on the post-processing -it is a little too over-done for my taste.

In A Different Way

I would be interested to see this in black and white, or at least with more of the colour taken out. Potential here, but doesn't quite nail it for me.
