That's a really neat abstract. I would have rated it quite high indeed...

Good idea! Very well executed and definitely dreamlike 'n surreal enough to be something out of a fantasy world. My only criticisms would be the crop/composition, feels like there's something wrong but I'm not sure what. Also, the hotspot on the face detracts very slightly, but it isn't obvious at first so it's extremely minor.

Congrats on your original and creative entry to this challenge, I know how difficult these can be to execute.

Good luck for the challenge!

This was my highest rated photo. Congrats on the top 20. If you care, what I love about it:

- The eyes in shadow, conveying sorrow
- The hands gripped in front of the face, as if afraid
- The deep shadows and highlights contrasting against each other - can't have the darkness without the light!

It just me stare at it, which is a good thing in MY book! :)

I felt sure that this was your work Nico... And as usual, I thought it was flawless (10)! I had this one picked to ribbon for sure - sorry that it didn't finish higher, but top 20 ain't bad out of 364!

Congrats again on a beautiful & powerful image. I'm sure we'll continue to see great things from you!

Just my 2 cents...

I'm not so sure why this didn't do a little better. One of my favourite images from the challenge.

Congrats on your top 20 finish, but it should have placed a little higher IMO.
