What a interesting veiw point....I like the contrast between the two figures....I really enjoy the idea of the guy looking down on his old self...very cool. He has a sense of release....sweet idea.

This is one of my favorites of the challenge. I like the mistiness of the "ghost" as well as his pose, looking down upon his old self. Cropping the lying down body as you did makes the image in the shadows the focal point. This is done quite nicely. I also like the radient lighting from the dark shadow on the right side of the photo to the lighter area on the left.

Reminiscent of Duane Michaels photos. Nicely done.

This is a nice cityscape shot, but I think moving in a little would help it out looking at it at this resolution. The toning of this shot could be a little warmer too. I know its cold there, but it has a little extra cold feeling without much color.

the sky has too much black - night shots better taken just as it is getting dark rather than pure dark.

Unique idea for this theme (spiritual pov) Snow on head is distracting. There is a lot of uninteresting background that, if changed (in color or content) would really help the composition

My favorite shot in the world. I can\'t get enough of this so I will be biased. First of all, you were so brave to stand the freeze when you took this :-). Second (beyond your control), I wish they allow panoramic sizes because this one would be so great in panorama. Third, so much details at his resolution ... I could even see my office, well, almost. I also like the color - dark background and foreground - so the building lights would stand out more. Good job!!!

Noisy sky. I've looked at this photo 3 times before I actually levied a vote. I think it looks a lot like a layered photo. It doesn't look very natural. I think the subject is pretty good and it is well framed. The brush kind of breaks up some of the monotony on the left side, but it almost seems it doesn't belong there.
