Either this photos contrast is off or it was really bright, your subjest in the photo looks very pail and gray in contrast.

Wow. Interesting use of color. You definitely met the challenge criteria, but I needed to be helped by the title. I like the tight cropping.

Cool shot, although given the zombie-like skin color paired with the extreme dark eye makeup, I'd say the woman needs the doctor--not the tree :-). First zombie I've ever seen in pink. Seriously, I like this shot a lot. 8

This is wonderful. I have to say, I do prefer this one to the B&W shot you posted.

One of my favourite of the London bridges. This is taken from a good angle, presumably from the Barnes side of the river.

The gold and blue team up to make a lovely presentation in this. This is very nice - would make a wonderful postcard! I take it from your notes that this is a multiple exposure HDR? If so, you did an outstanding job with the processing. I always seem to get tons of color noise. Whatever you did worked well.

That's an awesome structure - hope to see more of it. The shot is gray, but to me it kinda works that way. Seems quite representative of a gray European evening.

I agree with tnun down there - it IS fascinating. I've looked at it a few times before commenting. Someone suggested more contrast, and in a knee-jerk reaction, one might think that would be advisable. However, upon looking at this photo for a while, I feel it benefits from the softness, vagueness - almost like it's going to disappear. It reminds me of the state in which you're not sure if you are awake or asleep. Lovely.
