Not sure how to word this any better, but I am finding the sky/clouds a bit too overwhelming, taking away from the importance and impact that should belong to the buildings. Good choice of location for the challenge.

I have no idea what the color version of this might have looked like, but I don't see this as a shot that needs or should be B/W The subject gets a little lost in the background without some color. Good luck.

I am so glad this is B&W - it looks like an image from Life or Look taken in the era of their documentary highlights. This grabs my heart and leaves me desolate.

This image is disturbing because it evokes my memory of the horrific beheadings that have been in the news this year. Is that what you intended? I am looking for other hints and parallels. The balloons could be just that. I am curious about your message. The lighting leans that way too. Is this image an enigma, or am I just to cowardly to see it for what it is?

This photograph is stark, but says so much. Use of b&w enhances the emotional feel of it. Hope you tell us where this camp is located.

Too much texture makes everything look like one in this image.

I find this interesting, but I have to admit that it kind of creeps me out. It has the feel, to me, of a combination of a hostage picture and a terrorist. I would call this photo a success, despite some technical weaknesses, because it provoked a reaction from me. nice job.
