The headwaear, in the form of the helmet is just too incidental to this to truly meet the challenge in my opinion. The idea is sound, but I feel you could have done much more with the composition.

Excellent range of tones, utilising the black and white theme well. 9.

I gave this a 9 on my first voting run through, but I am raising it to a 10 - I can find nothing that I would change, or that I wish had been done just that little bit better - Perfect.

Looks like the drill sergeant is givimg them a hard time! A well captured moment with good lighting. It is a shame that the chap at the centre back and the girl to the right of the main subject aren't looking in the same direction as the others, as it does take away some of the impact. Good work, though. 9.

A starnge photo - the sky seems somehow seperate from the rest of the photo. Nonetheless, as a black and white photo it utilises the full range of shades from b through to w, and is earning an 8 from me.

You have caught some good detail in the bird, which is always difficult with white plumage, but the composition is dull and uninteresting.

The models pose looks uncomfortable, and not at all natural. I would suggest that you play around with some different styles of lighting, too.

I gave you a 3 for this, although it was a very close run thing to a 4 - don't be too disheartened though, because I did vote consistently lower than my average throughout this challenge. Ivo has pretty much summed up my feelings - you have competently photographed someone elses artwork, but haven't brought anything of yourself to it. I note that you say you had originally wanted to photograph the series of three panels, but that someone was sat in front of one of them - I wonder whether there might have been a photo opportunity in that. Hope this explains one of your votes.
