In my profound ignorance of things photographic, I had to look up Andrzej Dragan. Glad I did - the work is fascinating. Thanks for a great photo and the opportunity to learn something new!

My education in photography still has huge gaps. I am unfamiliar with Andrzej Dragan's work, but I will need to correct this because this image is fantastic. The lighting and portrait aspect of this is wonderful. I hope someday I can create a black and white image this lovely. What can I say about the eye patch, chop sticks and eggs? Marvelously quirky. Can you tell I like this?

This one is really cool, awesome colors, looks more like an oil painting than a photograph!

It'll be interesting to see the tutorial on this one. Great shot. Love the use of light to his right, yet we can still see the detail on the patch side of his face.

The power of the girl's gaze is spectacular. I don't think of Ben's shots here but it's a trivial matter since I am absorbed by the moment. I think I have a clue of who is the photographer (this is not a candid shot but made by an experienced one) but again, I am too taken by this frozen moment in time. Great shot.

Very nice. The only decent shot in the challenge, except for "Abstract in C Major." I'd give this the first place, but would crop it differently.
