Interesting take on the challenge. For me, I might have chosen a different background or something...not quite sure what (sorry, I'm not good with the technical stuff), but I like the concept and idea.

Speak for yourself... I don't ever intend to burn out! ;-)
Seriously though... good shot, the shadows and texture of the background are a little distracting.

Should have zoomed out (or moved back) to show more of the bulbs. Good idea, though!

Powerful piece of work here. I agree that the arm in the foreground is a bit distracting, but it also "hides" the grieving person's identity, so I see pros and cons to the crop. I immediately "felt" emotion when I saw this shot - it's filled to overflowing with it. And I agree... If you convey an emotion to your viewers, then you've successfully achieved art. Nice shot and I'm sorry for your loss.

Great portrait, I love the centered composition because of the subject. I'd try up'ing the reds in hue/sat a bit for a warmer look

Hey nice job on this with the tones and stuff, but I think the big blurred subject in front takes away from it, almost looks like a finger or something.

My first recommendation would be to lose the border. It's a great shot and the border line only serves to interrupt the flow of the image IMHO. I really like the tones you've got going on and the composition is busy, but works to support the mood of the piece.

This is a very cool shot! Love the variations of green tones. Very nice! Also think the composition is very strong. Great job!

Nice shot with great focus/DOF. The overall lighting is a bit dark, so think it could probably use a little boost there. The colors are also a bit on the drab side, so could bump those up to be a bit brighter as well. Most of all, I would suggest taking the subject out of the dead center - it makes for a very predictable shot, making it less interesting for the viewer (IMHO). Just my 2 cents...
