I love the look you acheived on the ship and truck... it has a wonderful feel to it. Unfortunately, the sky takes up too much of the image and is flat and uninteresting. 7

Easily one of my favorite portraits from the challenge. The tones here are excellent. The ballerina does look a little sad but charming. One nitpick is the dark square near the bottom right, could be easily cloned out but not certain if it would be removal of a major element, sorta doubt it but better safe I guess. I should know hehe. Another is this shot has a sephia tint, not purely b/w. I hope you dont get voted down because it looks great in b/w but if I had to choose I'd choose this slightly toned one.

A good subject for your treatment. Way too much evidence of editing though with the halos though - won't put off most of the DPC voters though as they love this kind of thing. Some nice touches however, and with more time you could make this special.

The cartoon like appearance of this entry is unique and works well!

Voted on this last night and came back to comment now. I think I love this more for the subject matter, perspective and muted colour, than the somewhat overly applied HDR which imo, renders it digital art in this instance. Having said that though, I gave it a 10 and now even with a second look over, cannot find justification for changing my vote. So I won't - a 10 it remains :)

This photo has a feel as if it is a painting. I love the old truck and boat. Your use of HDR brings out the dark areas of the wet ground while allowing the brighter sections to stay in control.
