Oh my gosh. I almost spoiled you brown ribbon. I gave this a 9. I really like the colors and the way the dark area on the bottom mirrors the power lines. I had no idea what that bright worm was, but the bright spot of color was key to the composition. This must have been really fun for you reading all the comments. Congratulations on meeting your goal.

I agree, but this shot was an accident. As it is, you just have to accept that it is an extremely low note. :)

You flatter me with the comparison. His image is an excellent evocation of music, head and shoulders above the hordes of guitar players you will find in the DPC portfolios.

Out of focus, maybe intentionally but it doesn't work for me, sorry.

Yeah. This was certainly the most off-the-wall shot in this challenge. The flow of musical notes or something. Who can say.

Interesting piece of art there, Don. Well, first let me congratulate you on knocking off your goal of getting the brown without trying. :)

As to the image, I do like it as an abstract. I find that the large grain makes it look almost like a pointillist painting, and I've always liked those.

As to how it relates to the concept of life, I have to admit I'm scratching my head.

Oh, no, a brown one! :) Is this your first? You were asking for it with this shot, though, but you know it. Next time shoot your dog inside a light bulb, and you should do better. :)

Well, I have to say I kind of wavered back and forth about the score throughout the week. I liked the image; there was never any question about that. Noise... geez, what's wrong with grain like this in an abstract? Beautiful colors, a strong visual subject in the lower left so that the eye does not wander, the image in the background of power lines but are we certain that's what they are.. all combine to create a beautiful piece of art. I just did not know if it related to the challenge for me. In the end though, I felt that it did. This may not be what you were going for, but it was my take on it: The yellow/orange light is the individual (or the two married who are now one flesh) - reaching out and holding strong against the colder, harsher outside world. That definitely relates to the challenge for me, and in the end, I gave it a score that I really would have loved more than three people to give as well.
