Great use of warm colors to mirror the child's anger. Brilliant tilted angle and use of lighting. How did you get the child to show that expression in his face? Too perfect! Thanks for sharing. The size of the pen add to the extreme, over the top feeling of this photo. Artfully framed. Fantastic Shot!

Funny picture, great job capturing the humor and ability to laugh at one's self in this woman. I like the green shir and the bround eyes. Nice job with no reflection on the glasses. Did you remove the frames? If not, how did you do that? Great framing. Great picture.

From out of space... Marvin meets Ed Wood

Great idea and lighting. I think I would make the angle (point of view) even more intense and shoot up ar Marvin. I don't know how this really meets the challenge, but it sure is fun!

I thought this was basic editing so I am not sure if this qualifies. The image is fuzzy, but it certainly is a great idea. Very funny. Great expression on both faces.

I don't know how this convey's authority, but I like the personality the photographer captured in the dog's expression. He looks unhappy to me, eduring this bath. The lighting is a distraction on the dog, but it enhances the human arm.

Good thing someone is taking charge, or cats would rule the world. Cute image. Nice sense of fun and interaction between the cat and the woman.

Great angle. Great expression on your subject's face. I like that she is looking to the future, almost seeing her future generations. I see pride and determination in this woman's face. The only flaw I see is the glare on her glasses. I know that is so hard to get rid of, but it really does distract from her face. Nice thought out. Powerful image.

doh!

Funny. Beautiful crisp image. I would have cropped it differently, much tighter on the card. I would have the card on top of Luxury Tax and Park Place, with those sections partially visible beneath it. Or I would crop them out entirely, letting the question marks complement the card. Just a thought.

I love the colors. Nice brilliant red of the sign, then the muted burgandies of the branches and leaves with the backdrop of the snow and buildings. I like the intense focus on your subject with the softness of the background. I really want to straighten the sign, though. It should be ramrod straight to convey the immutable messge.

Nice light, textures, and colors. The light on the badge works well. The photo meets the challenge for me.
