Very edgy indeed. I hope you don't expect to score well but I admire your spunk, err guts. 8

If I cant tell who this is then the picture loses all its meaning. It's a good dramatic angle but you've forgotten that your viewer doesnt know what you do. 7

All Gave Some - Some Gave All

Not an original idea in this challenge but certainly one of the best executed of this style. Emotive, recognisable and simple. Well done. 10.

Not Forgotten

Gah yet another picture using selective desaturation. In this case there is at least a reason albeit a touch hackneyed. 7

Im knocking points off every photo I see that uses selective desaturation without a clear and valid purpose. In this case your desaturation of everything except red has helped keep the focus on your subject but this alone is not reason enough to use a technique that has become somewhat hackneyed on DPC. Drawing the viewer's eye to your subject is something you should be doing in your composition not your post processing. 6

I like the crop but there seems to be a white balance problem here. 7
