Comment:
The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems as the image appears to be over sharpened, but that may be a lighting artifact. The DOF could have been used more effectively. A good solid entry into the challenge.

The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. The DOF could have been used more effectively, but is acceptable as it is. Once again, a clever use of grayscale and color. A good solid entry into the challenge.

Child's Addiction

Comment:
This reviewer's initial impression was extremely negative, but after returning to the image and figuring out exactly what the image contained, this is a high score. A little too subtle in the abstract sense, this could have been mistaken for a different object in particular with the smoke. On further review though, the image matches the title and is very clever - something to consider when reviewing is not to jump to comclusions as this reviwer did. That may be a problem for this image from a general appeal standpoint, but technically and artistically, this is an outstanding effort on the part of the author and should be viewed as a clever, creative, properly lighted and focused with amazing impact. If there were justice in the one to ten voting system, this would be a perfect ten and if a Hall of Fame existed on DPC, a sure entry into the pantheon of imaginative and illusionary photography. A 10++ from this reviewer - well done.

The Daily Grind

A very unique and creative look at crayons - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way using black and white imagery. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.

Drawing Hands (after M.C.Escher)

This reviewer had to return to this image more than once to properly evaluate the image. Originally, the impression was good, but not outstanding. On further review, to began to have a positive impact - a very creative look at colored pencils - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect - perhaps a little too subtle. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. Should be a sure bet to win a ribbon or place high as a top twenty image. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.
