This is some very hard work you got there! I love it. Colours are very nice and toned down at the same time. The mood is dark but full of emotions. Composition is wierd and interesting. I'm not too sure about the DOF, but that's probably why i like the shot so much! This is definatly in the lines of Surrealim, in a sick and twisted way ;) 8

great idea, but it seems to be lacking in quality, I am not sure if it is your camera, or if you increased your files size??

fabulous. the negative space in the frame accents the hunched shoulders and morose expression perfectly.

A beautiful image in own right which I expected would much higher. Regardless, it remains a very good wall hanger.

It never ceases to amaze me just how vastly people's opinions can vary on the same subject matter. I really liked your photo and gave it an 8 and was stunned at both the final score and placement. This is in my opinion a very nice photo, and warranted a higher score.

This was a good idea that is lacking in execution. Animal pictures just don't work very well if the eyes are included in the shot, but you can't see them. This shot is just too dark.

this manaquin looks strangely familiar (I hope it's just that you've used this element before and not that I'm imagining it! LOL) you have captured a great sense of surrealism - interesting composition and juxtaposition of elements - one of my ribbon picks this challenge -- well done!
