I really like this idea. I think I would've liked it better if the surface had been pure white. The lighting is perfect.

The basin is too dark for my liking. Better lighting to bring out the "ripple wave" would have improved this shot.

This is why I loved the 80's. I can remember being a young man walking by the local aerobics studio and just standing and staring. Deserved to be at least a 6 overall. I probably would have given you a 7, two bonus points for the girl- 9.

Lighting is good. Almost a couple of blown highlights, but controlled very well. Nicely set up, nice PP.

Saving Private Ryan

First let me say I would've given you a "1" here's why

1) They didn't have M-16's in WWII
2) A couple of these guys look British- one appears to be carrying an SA80- also not around in World War II.
3) The sand is clearly out of scale with the rest of the image
4) Ever since Toy Story I get the willies just seeing these guys
5) The helmet for the guy on the left is just all wrong, wrong wrong wrong!

Okay, so now you're saying- what a D***. In reality I like the shot, it clearly took some planning and thought. I like the shallow DOF adds to the illusion. I probably would have given you a 7 just for making me laugh and then a bonus of 1 for coming up with the idea, so an 8. Hopefully when you read #4 you picked up on the joke before calling me names. Keep shooting and having fun with it. DPC needs more out of the box thinkers- in fact everywhere does.

I must be tired.... It took me a moment.

Great, personally I love Shallow DOF.

Body & Lines

I like this shot. Dark, lighting is great, leaves alot to the imagination- maybe too much for some people.

I think one thing that may have hurt it a little in the challenge is that it is a little out of the box for lines. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great entry for this challenge (certainly meets challenge), but somehow I'd bet that a few of those two's, three's or fours were looking for "LINES!!!" and didn't find them here.

I didn't vote in this challenge- Lazy, lazy, lazy. I would've probably given you an 8 on this. In looking at the challenge there are at least 6 images that scored way too low (at the same time I see that many that think scored high).

In the Calm of Night

Since you were nice enough to mark my last comment as helpful, I'll give a real comment on this one.

I'd probably take out the light pole in the back. I think it would still be okay, even with a phantom light source at the back- might even be the moon, who would know. In addition I'd probably play with levels a little, go for a little overall darker and tighten up the contrast a little. I like the framing, nice shot, fairly moody as is (hazy night?) Just some of my personal opinions.

Dredge Ship 2

This has a very "other world" feel to it. It's almost like the ship is about to be sucked up into space never to be seen again.
