Sorry but what were you thinking when you put this frame with this shot? I don´t think I have ever seen a frame steal so much attention from the shot. Sorry, not trying to offend you, just wanted to explain why I only gave this a 4 even though I think it meets the challenge.

I like the negative space, not as keen on the lighting though, a little too harsh for my taste. 6 from me.

I dunno... without the title there would be no tie at all to the 80´s so I voted as in a gray area with meeting the challenge and deducted a couple of points. Still got a 6 from me as I really like the shot itself, would probably have given it 8 if I thought it met the challenge head on.

Pretty cool shot, the girl is doing a terrific job as the model and really selling me this shot. Love the backround too. Got an 8 from me.

Nice portrait, three things that bother me with it though. 1. The overexposure is a little bit too much for me of the left cheek. 2. I would have liked the tip of the chin to be in the frame, I find it awkward that you cut it off like that. 3. A lack of catchlights in the eyes make them seem, well not dead but not as alive as they could have been. Love the makeup and hair though and the attitude the model is showing :)

6 from me.

Ahh sorry, the blurred backround a little bit too blurred for my taste, it´s pretty apparent it was done in the post processing and not by a big aperture...

Otherwise a pretty cool car that I always wanted to own when I grew up, well, one that flew anyway :)

Sorry but I find it very hard to see how this is supposed to meet the challenge. Looks like a nice place to lie and sip on an "appelsin" though :)

Usually I love shallow dof but here is not the case, this is one image where I would have liked everything in focus, well at least if you want to compose it like that. Other than that, pretty good, well lit.

Hmmm, I am going to go out on a limb and say that you blurred the backround afterwards.... If I am correct, it´s pretty well done, I´ll give you that but somehow he just doesn´t seem to fit there, like you cut him out of another photo and pasted it in this one. Anyway, the shot is nice and well composed, got an 6 from me.
