Bright colors in sharp focus usually do well ... for a relatively oblique (for DPC) approach to the challenge topic I think you finished respectably, although I thought it was worth a higher score myself.

Amazed this didn't finish higher. Still, I hope you're happy with the shot - it's great!

Although a very creative photo of a family could have been made with these masks, this image doesn't appear to demonstrate any attempt to relate them to the challenge topic.

Nice colorful shot with the masks, I remember when I'm in Italy seeing these, especially in Venice.

Of all the pictures so far that don't have people in them I like this one the best. It looks like a group of sisters.

Interesting take on the challenge. While the subject is interesting I feel the harsh light detracts from the overall presentation. Use of black backdrop excellent. POV, DOF good. Good luck in the challenge!

Once again, a great shot. You're having WAYYY too much fun. I'd expect three minutes at ISO400 to result in a fair amount of grain on a 10D, so I'm curious to know how much of the shot is noise vs. stars. It also looks like you're getting a LOT of purple fringing with that lens (blue stars ain't THAT blue). Although it's not as wide, I suspect that your 70-200 wouldn't do that. You might also try a longer exposure at f/8.
