this seems a little underexposed to me - perhaps a boost in the midtones - could be my LCD monitor as well. However, I really like everything else about the image.

I just wish this one had a bit more of highlights (or maybe contrast). Lovely natural expression. Kudos for capturing the moment.8.

My first choice in this challenge, and my only 10.
It's one of those rare photographs that is all the more interesting because of what is NOT in it. No people, no props to suggest a context; it makes a lovely puzzle ... what is this place? Probably a public building. Not government, but not commercial either. Maybe an old theatre? The neglected state of the building and of the fire buckets themselves is nicely complemented by the quirky, asymmetrical composition of the photograph, and by the sympathetic processing. It's a photograph as unpretentious as its subject, yet it nevertheless manages to attain great charm and interest. Thoughtful, original and challenging, and relentlessly "anti-DPC" as well - can't ask for more than that!

This could have been even better with some slight light adjustments. While I like the figure portrayed with highlights, the depiction is missing some richness- the lighting is a little too vague. Its still an 8 in my book, though.

Nice image! It reminds me of an Andrew Wyeth painting.
