Now THAT'S wind. :) Nice capture. Not sure about the b&w treatment. The background and sky look a bit flat and washed out. The kite does stand out well though.

I reallly like the colors and composition. The only thing that bothers me is the purple cast on the rack (?) directly to the right of the manequin's head.

This could very well ribbon IMO. Ingenius find or set-up, outstanding processing, perfect composition, extremely creative in approach in all ways.

Good title.
I like the idea and how the lower part of the photo looks (it looks like a 10 score). But than the background above the neck spoils it. The ugly wall and roof, the unrelated matter and especially the blown out (exposure-wise) windows draw so much attention a way. Just where you'd like to focus all of your attention on the cut off face. Averages out to a 7.

I'd like more of the background the way the floor looks. The highlights on the body are no problem for me.

This is a very "clean" shot and the title is quirky but fitting. The floor's texture augments the feel you are portraying in the old bust form. The angle works well and the light from the windows gives it a bit of an "edge". Excellent capture.....good luck!

Really like the color and texture here. Only slight annoyance is the overexposed windows, and chromatic fringing.

Great title. This photo works well and shows creative thinking outside the box.

I really like the subject, composition and the deep rich colors in this shot. You might want to do something about the purple fringing in the background, but other than that, this is an excellent shot for this challenge.
