Very inventive. The subject looks a bit awkward, but then anyone wearing half-clothing on both sides would be likely to feel a little odd! Good choice of using a standard studio portrait-type background.

Good interpretation of the challenge theme...as well as good lighting, focus, and color. Well done. :o)

Since this is one of my very top scores - I thought I'd try to give you my best shot at constructive comments.

First - let's talk technical: Exposure = perfect, composition = classic but effective, DoF = perfect.

On the artistic side: Idea = stunning, model = wonderful, background = a bit "commercial" for me, border = un-needed

Make it better by: 1) A logo on the baseball shirt (doesn't matter what it is - just something for the added impact) 2) No glove on the baseball hand - they don't use them.

Overall: I will be extremely surprised if you don't end up with a ribbon.

Very clever, creative. My pick for Best in Show. Didn't fancy the model's facial expression, however. Too serious or something. But great shot nonetheless...

Great concept and well executed. Good expression and pose, with nice lighting making this very effective. Perhaps a darker suit would have added to the contrast (the jacket and pants on the suit side don't really match). Good work though.

This is technically a very good image, and the idea is great as well.. The backdrop is a little too close to the model, or possibly could have done with some lighting to bring out the shadows behind him..

intersting idea.. but the background doesnt work well with the composition
