This photo has everything I like - gorgeous textures, colours, motion blur suggesting action, some depth of emotion or even a narrative involved, and great lighting and composition. I gave it 10 - lisae

Seven with One Blow!

I KNOW this story. It's one of those Brothers Grimm fables. I just thought I'd say that, because I'm sure people have been missing the point all week! 8 - lisae

Gorgeous... the colours, lighting and textures here are so beautiful, even though the theme is decay and death. The bones almost seem translucent. 10 - lisae

I love the way you used this chance to take a kind of subversive landscape photo :). It's beautiful for its flaws. Garbage and pollution are nasty, but this photo is stunning. 10 - lisae

OK Papa?

I'm not sure where this is from, but I've seen many scenes like this on TV and always felt like they make the most poignant statement about the poverty and inequality in the world... the poor fossicking through the things the wealthy discard just to get by. The depth of feeling in your photo is astonishing. 10 - lisae

WOW! This is honestly one of the best photos I've ever seen on this site! 10 - lisae

Hmm... I should elaborate, it was quite late at night here when I wrote that, and I'd been drinking some scotch :). I love your use of depth of field and framing around the little girl to make her such a strong focal point. Her wide-eyed little urchin expression is so universal and intense, in the midst of what is obviously some crushing poverty. This is the kind of photo that makes me wish I could change the world. That's a huge achievement.
