This is a really interesting image to find on this site... I'll be very interested to se how it does! And even more interested to see if it's a guy or girl who submitted it. :-).

The horizontan line in the background is a little distracting, and I think I would have liked to see the chaps elbows, but your lighting is good, and the focus is fine. 7

Back-Light

Yes! I didn't enter in the end, but I was sooo tempted to take a back light photo.. :-). And you've captured a back-lit back light. Clever pose, B&W + noise/grain give this a nice artsy feel. 7

It's a little distracting that you've chopped of this poor fellow's fingers, on both hands no less, but this image has great energy... 6

What a neat landscape... I won't say what other folks have probably already said, but the light would appear to be comming from the front.. 5, cause I like it. :-).

Red Tube Top

I find the black across the top of frame a little distracting, would have prefered a fade to grey.. The shot is well composed, and the valve takes up jsut the right amount of the image for a solid 1/3rds layout. 7

ARRRGGGHHHHH! It's Woody again! :-). A pair of well lit woody's though... I would have been taking the stands off them, they look a little odd with the bit of wire, well, you know... The wire lasted about 5 minutes on the two I got a while ago. 6

Wow, this would make a great large scale print... Techincally rim lighting, not backlighting, but heck, this is not the sort of thing I expected to see for this challenge. A 9 for me...

Neat pet-shot.. A bit of ight in the eyes would make this so much better.. A bit of low level fill flash if your camera can, or a mirror if not... Well caught. 6
