This is cool. The main flower is great. The lower right bit is too much in focus and distracts.

Wow, what an intriguing flower. The only thing that bugs me is the DOF in this image. I'm assuming that the big unfocused area at the right is is another flower that was closer to you, I think it occupies too big of an area and it creates a distraction. Also, the fact that right behind it, something purple is focused throws me off. I would've loved to see this flower, with the same composition but simply with a nice bokeh in the background.

this is great... it looks as if he's skating through the murk and yet is just so happy about it!!! I love the motion and the b/w processing. Terrific - 9!

I really like this, I think her wrist/hand movement gives it a twist from the rest of the golden soft look. Not sure why people think she looks under 18 though.

I tend to view nudes in challenges such as this as a shameless way to get a few more votes, but I actually loved this photo and feel on the contrary it should have scored higher. Very tastefully done and the lighting and cropping is just perfect. Probably my favourite photo of the challenge.
