This is awesome! Great take on what "life" is, and putting in black and white was an excellent choice. The lighting is great and contrasts nicely with the stark black background. One of the week's best, definately. 10

This will probably win. Nice shot - good DOF, lovely subject. Building in the distance looks tilted, falling over - or is the shot skewed? Good use of sepia.

Talk about composition perfection. You should add 'MOC' to your professional title. Tom Helsel, Master of Composition. Another beautiful shot for your portfolio.

Despite me being against the whole american flag as a symbol of freedom thing, i love this photo! It's well executed and sends out a clear message! I might liked to have seen the photo converted to black and white, while keeping the flag saturated, this might have made the flag even more prominent in the eye. I'm gonna have to give you a 9 though, instead of a 10, just because of my difference to the american flag issue!
