Comment:
didn't see the face until I was checking my scores and saw the thumbnail (hope that's just me and others see it right away -- if not it's hurting your scores) clever and engaging composition - bumping this one up

I like your composition, use of written music as a background -- monochrome works well, excellent dof, one of my ribbon picks this challenge (I'm allowing 4 since there are so many entries!) BOL

like the repitition, the coloring (especially the blue part as it breaks the repetition in an interesting way) one of my ribbon picks this challenge.

Red adds a frenetic sense to the frame, a bit busy but I like the colors and the balance... out on a limb but one of my ribbon picks this challenge.. bol

Gateway

Comment:
you've captured "inviting" and "mysterious" with your gate. One of my favorites this challenge - only suggestion is to show a bit more of the left side (although that would put less of the theme in the shot)

One of my ribbon picks this challenge -- great contrast and crisp dof, strong composition. I like the patina on the watch as it adds a bit to the story. BOL

"Old School"

Way better than my take on this :) Great use of dualtones and dof, lighting is great (high marks for use of a pencil sharpener -- and I thought I was being original!)

CHRISTMAS POTATOES
by petspics

Comment:
you've got a few too many elements in your shot -- going for the potato thing as your main subject? bright blue pulls my eye off your subject as does the white grid thing. Suggest creating more of a setup shot to highlight your point (use the device) or object can't really tell too much about it because it's covered in potatoes)
