I like the colors. I like the post processing effects. I just don't like to see the doublets. It may be that they're intentional, but they detract from the picture. Good luck.

Like many others, the only thing bad about this shot is that it only partially fills the challenge. From what I gather, the style should involve some sort of vertical distortion as well as horizontal. But I like the composition alot. Good luck.

I think this is brilliant. Considering the caliber of your competition, you should be really proud for coming up with an idea that puts of most of theirs to questionable shame. My favorite of this challenge by a long shot. 10

Honestly, I love the idea. My problem is with the background. The whole winding down at the end of a long day of heroics idea is great. The bindings/light/chair/reflection distract from the subject though.

The gun does 2 things. It obviously adds to the picture in that context is further extablished. It also IMO takes away from the hero aura. Soldiers are heroes because they fight and would die for freedom etc. Not because they killed or would kill for it. Anyways, as for the picture. I love it. I think it has trememdous impact. The b&w, even the centered composition doesn't bother me. The focus is great, and like I said, the composition is excellent. Best of the challenge thus far.

I like the effect. It's a bit overdone especially in the top right, but I like the way the boats turned out.

Very nice colors. The lawn and sky are amazing. The larger tree is slightly underwhelming though. EIther way, I really like this picture.
