Being 23 years old and from Australia, I had no idea what this image was of, and that it is typically a red object, but submitted in black and white. After reading the other comments, I still stand by the low score I gave this, as I didn't get any "red" from this, which is what the challenge asks for. Wrong audience, I guess :)

I could not overstate my dismay at the prevailing reactions to this photograph. People who think like that have no business owning an instrument as powerful as a camera. And that's no idle observation: I mean it.

In a "Calvin and Hobbes" cartoon, Calvin asks his dad about b+w pictures. Dad tells him that the world used to be black and white. When confronted with the fact that the b+w pictures didn't change with the rest of the world, Dad replies "that's because they were color pictures of a black and white world." This was great, forces us to think about what color is and means.

Oh MAN! Had planned on getting back to comment on this during voting.

This was/is my favourite from the challenge. Why? Because of the quality of the image, and the bravery to submit a B&W image for this challenge. The ability to convey red in an image, as you have, without actually relying on the colour... wow! Brilliant!
