Without the mask it could be perfect for a FS. Great scene, IMHO underrated. Maybe the mask had to be slightly more visible, I'm sure someone didn't notice it. I expected it among the top 5 images

I think this is one of your best overall images, funny and scary at the same time. You even made spiders less scary than usual for me :D

First of all, congrats on the ribbon... not easy in a challenge like that.

I have mixed feelings about this image: I think it deserved a top 3/5/10 and I like it. At the same time if I look at the original I can see a 'far from perfect' image. Editing is maybe not too strong but it completely change the perception of the photo. And it makes me wonder which is the meaning of Art?. waitingsilence and I were taking a look at the first 30 images of this challenge and we often disagreed about which were the best ones. Well, I'm sorry if I used your image to talk about the challenge in general, so I stop here. Congrats on the ribbon, I truly think you deserved it :)

A weird composition, but it surely captures my eyes. B&W is simply perfect

Maybe not technically perfect but it really tells a (cruel) story

My New Car

Comment:
Even if the car is empty the image seems able to tell a story. The only thing I like less is the belt (is it the belt?) in the middle. It distracts a lot the viewer

Fog in Dubai

No doubt this is going to enter the top 3. Fog is cool but also the rising (or setting) sun light adds to the scene
