Sorry but the cheap invert photoshop trick isn´t hitting the spot at all with me, frankly I strongly dislike it. Just thought I owed you an explanation why I gave it a 3 wich is the lowest I give if I think a shot meets the challenge.

Haha, don´t know why but I immediately thought of the user who calls himself "soup" and that is a compliment, he has some very good shots of glasses. Nicely done, everthing technical about it is good but just quite doesn´t hit the spot but still an 8 from me.

Sorry but not hitting the spot with me, I need something more than a 98% dark frame, I bet I would have liked this if it were more evened out, the flame correctly exposed and not overexposed and if the silhouette had some texture. Just wanted to explain why I gave it a relatively low score of 4.

Very nice, love the silhouette and composition in this picture still not quite jaw droppingly awesome but good enough for a 9 from me, one of the best in the challenge. Only to nitpick a bit, there are a couple of ares in the shot that are "smudgy". One in the middle of the stairs and also one of the bottom of the mast that is closest to the one he is climbing at. Is your lens dirty or is it something else? Anyway, didnt let that affect my score, just thought I would point them out to you if you hadn´t noticed. Good luck in the challenge!

Sorry but not fond of the PP at all, skin way way too perfectly smooth, I feel much rather that I am looking at a cartoon rather than a real person. The eyes kindof rescue the shot though so I gave it a mediocre rating of 5. Just wanted to explain why I didn´t give this a higher mark as the thumbnail seemed good, I like the composition.

Wow, that is one clean beach! Darn it, why did you go and post this image, I am sitting here and the weather outside is really REALLY sh**ty and now all I wanna do is walk down this beach... :D

Anyway, love the simplicity and serenity, gave this an 8.

Nice shot, one of the few images I actually like image grain, normally detest it. I just think this would be such a stronger image if there was someone walking along the beach "fighting" against the wind, it´s nice the way it is but I feel it is missing something...

Awesome shot even though a little uncreative and an "easy way out" but I love that sky and think this is one of the strongest images in the challenge, gave it a 9.

Funny! :D Only to nitpick though I would have liked this image even more if the whole bread would have been in the shot...
