I wonder how many people walked right past this and never even saw it. Great image.

I'm not even voting but wanted to let you know how much I like this photo. I hope it ribbons. Not only is there physical pain from real physical injury, but the emotional pain from living such a hard life just oozes from the photo. Great job.

Very intense look in the eyes without her looking surprised. Great catch light. Nice pose. Good crop too.

Creative idea. Focus is very sharp where it needs to be, and I like the look on this kids face. Very natural. To me the lip prints almost look like you painted them on in PS. For some reason they don't look too real. Nice photo.

They eye is really the key to any portrait, person or animal, and the eye to me seems pretty blurry. Even in the rest of the photo were soft, that at least should be sharp to make the photo great. Nice colors though and I like the contrast between the pink and the black.

There are parts of this photo that I think could be a little sharper, but the exposure is very nice. While I think the composition turned out to be a bit busy and distracting, you did make a big effort to arrange them in a way you don't normally see, and that was very creative. Good effort.

Great work Manny. You really live in a great part of the world for photography. So many opportunities around you to capture the culture and the array of colors.

I like this shot a lot. It's well composed with a nice soft background, great colors and good focus. I like how the smoke goes from being soft to crisp. Very nice light on your subject too, especially the sleeve.

I like this one a lot, especially the lower two thirds of the photo. The shapes of the broken ice and the contrasting color between the ice and water makes for a great composition. Nice work.

The concept for the photo is okay. Model is beautiful, you have met the challenge description with no problems and it's a creative idea. But here is where I think it could improve: First of all, the background sheet is distracting and also a bit contrived to me. It just doesn't look like a realistic setting. Second is the harsh lighting. I think it would have been more effective if it was somehow softer. I know not everyone has a pro studio, myself included, but I just think this photo could have been drastically better without that white backdrop and maybe with a softer, more natural looking light.
Oh, and be prepared to lose about 2 full points after the anti-nudity crowd gets done with you.
