The stark contrast of this gives it a "sterile" clinical feeling

Nice finish. The subject matter is terrific. Didn't we talk about cropping :)
Still much better than my own!

What fascinates me about this is the reflected world in the ball, and she is indeed quite focused in her own space it seems. Nicely seen.

Hi Bob, this is one of the few I didn't get to while voting, which is unfortunate - I think it's pretty cool. I probably would have cropped a lot of the right side out and done a more-or-less square crop to showcase the very interesting subject, but I think it's a great capture nonetheless.

I'm actually surprise by the score. The repeating patterns lend well and the colors do pop. I'm guessing the noise got you, but frankly it is so minor.

Why can't I remember the next note?

Ouch, snapshot of death comment. I hate those. I think it is a good picture for why, at least his expression seems to convey the thought. Most of the entries to me at least were just normal pictures with a catchy title. At least this fits.

I think the gentleman in the back right is a little distracting, other than that a very nice photo.

I think candids are the hardest thing to shoot - and once shot - making them appeal to this crowd is near impossible - well, for me anyway. Also, I've noticed that voters get irritated when what the subject is looking at is out of frame. Even if the subject is a cat! So I guess you might have gotten a double-whammy for this pic. Aaah, the heck with 'em :P
