Although the image doesn't have very much interest or initial impact...(although I'm sure it would be very hard to photograph a wasp nest and get good composition!) I think it fits the challenge, and the exposure, focus, colors, and textures are very nice. Excellent try!

Good action shot. I like that the hammer is blurred due to movement.

kind of a static composition. though it would've been risky, a closer shot would have worked better.

This seems to be stretching the definition of "power" too far.

A different take on the challenge, I like the idea, the cars in the background are a little distracting (I'm guessing she was in a parade or something so you couldn't exactly choose your background....). I'm interested to read the comments for this after the challenge to see what she was dressed up for.

What advanced editing did you do? Come on, I would have, even for my travel photos removed the striped street sign, the spots on the pavement, the tree growing from her head and the guys in jeans sitting on the curb. Not to mention the stuff on the grass and a few other things I just went back to see. Get serious please.

I'd have liked this better in black and white :)

A good idea for the challenge, but I feel there is more you could have done to enhanced the photo. The background is unappealing, and provides a strange context for the belly-dancer - if this was part of a display and you had no opportunity to move your model, opting for a very shallow depth of field may have helped to blur and disguise the background.
