I think this either needs more color or to be a true black and white image... as it is, it just seems muddy to me. Needs more contrast, I think, to score more highly. 5

Nice and sharp on the butterfly eye.. .but the backlighting being so bright has a negative effect. I wonder if you played with this in Photoshop or something a bit, it could have score more highly...

Nicely done... but not enough contrast for me... the background being yellow makes this seem like it has a yellow cast to it. Some PP would have taken care of that, I think. Nice job getting it all in focus. Maybe a black border all around the image would have lessened the black line at the bottom.

I think the shot has to stand on its own even outside the challenge to score highly. It's a good idea... She doesn't look strained enough to be realistically hanging from her feet.

I like how her hair almost looks like it's hanging. Maybe her jacket and pants bottoms could have been moved up to make them look like they were hanging, too?

If I saw this not associated with the challenge, I would not like it.

As it is, though, I like the colors but wish there were more detail in the fish's body.

Shadowplay

Great idea for upside down! I wish there were more detail in the 'real' person... and the strong highlights on the top of the image (that the shadow is on) are a bit much... and then those hot spots where the top and bottom meet... I gave this a 5. It's a tough shot to get.

That dock is distracting to me. I like the colors... but I think I would have cropped out the houses and the floating dock... or centered up the houses so there was something clearly as the subject.

This is interesting... I wish that leaf (top, as shown) were not so out of focus. Good color and contrast.

The houses need a bit of brightening, I fear. As it is there doesn't seem to be anything as the subject (in focus) other than where the water meets the water. It leaves me wanting more.

The flash shadow here is distracting. I can't imagine it was an easy shot to get, though.
