Wow, just saw this one.

This is certainly one of your better submissions - and given your recent run of outrageous scores that's saying something.

Great job!

Bla-Bla-Bla..

This is a fantastic image... was one of the best of the challenge. Love the way you have isolated the subject, would have been nice if you could have used a longer shutter to get more blur on the other people - but chances are if'd you'd tried that the woman with the phone would have moved :).

The Pianist

Comment:
This is a nice shot - however, there is not Pianist in sight in this shot, just a piano, so the title doesn't really fit. I like the reflections on the keys in particular. 5

Hehehe... Seems I don't know my closely cropped skulls as well as I thought :).

You've got it in one. (I'm assuming your guess about my identity wasn't as spot on :P)

Just like to thank everyone who commented here - this is far and away my most sucessful shot here, and the feedback I've received has been really great. It's nice to see the irony wasn't lost on most :).

Considering some of the incredibly great work by some really terrific photogs in this challenge, I couldn't be happier with my placing.

Cheers

Not To Be So Depressive
by sahko

Comment:
The gloomy feel and blue/grey/green cast here is wonderfully effective. Congratulations (okay so I just stumbled accross your portfolio during voting and saw your outtake for this shot - both are brilliant - apologies for thinking this might be Heida - she has a shot of a similar looking model in her port - not that being confused with Heida can really be seen as a negative :P) on what is probably the best image in this challenge.

Once again, great work! 10.

Depressive II.

Wow - this is an amazing image. Probably better than your new years resolution shot (admittedly it doesn't convey depressive as well).

Brilliant stuff!

Backdoor

This image has a really interesting dreamy effect - not sure whether its the lighting or your processing, but it provides a great contrast with the grimy, industrial feel of the subject. Certainly a successful image.

This is exquisite. Rarely have I come across better post processing.

to find my balance

I like this a lot, the lighting is terrific - love the effect to the right of the figure (whatever the heck that is (looks almost like a motion blur/a zoom effect - which is tremendously effective here). I would like the focus on the face to be a little crisper but besides that this is great. 8.
