The initial impression on the rating pass through was that while a technical success, the image was lacking some impact. On review, this image demans a rerating from an 8 to a 10. It works on many levels, but the initial impression is a little lacking. Perhaps a different choice of backgrounds or a textured background would have helped the original impression. Hopefully, a ribbon winner and/or a top ten ranking.

With a little less space a the top, this would have rated a 10. From a technical standpoint it's an artistic success, but is just shy of being a perfect image because of it's height. Should be a potential top ten and a possible ribbon winner.

The initial impression is positive, but it might have helped to have reduced the white bloom on the right a little and perhaps used a little more DOF control with a closer look at the stick pin - there are several ways this could have been improved. A great concept, just shy of perfect technical and artistic execution.

A nicely executed image with good central focus and a clever viewpoint. No major flaws, but it would appear that it lacks something that affects it's impact on the viewer from an interest standpoint. A techcnical success just shy of being an artistic success.

Simple brilliant concept and perfectly executed capture. The image appears to be a touch oversharpened on initial review, but on comment review, this was a clear error on the part of the reviewer. Rerated a ten from a nine this image deserves to be a top ten if not a ribbon winner.

Originally, the offset gave the impression of too much black space, but upon review, this image works perfectly. Wonderful DOF control being just vague enough to provide a senes of depth, but providing detail and context. Originally rated a nine, it has been rerated a 10. Top ten contender and a potential ribbon winner. Well done.

Perfect - simply perfect. Beautiful execution on a very clever idea. This reviewer originally rated this a nine because of the motion blur which originally gave an impression of imprecision, but after reviewing the image for comment, the author's intent became clear and the image rerated. A ribbon contender and should be a top ten rated image. Well done.

Another image originally rated a nine, this reviewer rerated it a ten on closer inspection. Originally, the image appeared to be less than acceptable from a technical standpoint, but further reflection and viewing suggested that the original impression was wrong and a correction in scoring needed. This should be a top ten image and a potential ribbon contender. Well done.

A very intriguing look at everyday objects and money. A terrific presentaion with no major or minor flaws, this image works on several levels. Crisp, sharp and very clear. Originally rated a nine, this reviewer rerated it a ten if only because of it's clever concept and perfect execution. Should be a ribbon contender and most certainly a top ten image. Well done.

Whimsical, brilliantly executed and not major or minor flaws to speak of. The background could have been less bright, but it does work as it is. This reviewer initially rated it a nine, but when returning to comment, decided to rerate it a ten and hopefully that will help it win the ribbon it deserves. Well done.
