The Drummer Boy of Shiloh

Great expression and pose on the boy. I'm not sure about having the flag leak through, although I see that's the point in order to meet the challenge. I just don't favor the the lines on his face, sorry. DOF choices seem solid, colors are rather muted but I'll assume that was to support the somber mood. Overall, I think this image will evoke emotion in other viewers, which makes it successful. Although I think I'd have rather seen a shot of the boy drumming with the motion blur in the drumsticks, I can't fault this particular shot for much and so I'm going to give it a good score anyway. :) Best of luck in the challenge!

Light trails, one of my favorite kinds of night shots! You've got some perspective skew in the buildings, I might have either corrected or exaggerated that. Composition is strong with the light trails leading into the frame. Overall, a great shot!

Hi! Well done on exposing the clock. With this being an advanced editing challenge, I might have cleaned up what appears to be either a reflection gone awry or some other kind of light noise on the right side of the frame and also balanced the vignette effect in the upper left corner of the frame. It's otherwise a pretty crisp and clean shot. One more nitpicky thing, in general when clocks are advertised for sale etc. the time shown on the face is 10:10, to mimic a smile in the subconscious of the viewer. With regard to composition, I think it would have helped here to have the time set at 10:10 and the second hand skimming at the 30th second. Overall, it's a good shot to meet the challenge. Good luck!

I like it.... Her eyes are a bit bright, but you've got some mood there in the overall feel. Nice job!

I think I like this one even better than the other! Excellent job, and very nice work with the layers/cloning. Would you update your photog notes with some clues as to how you achieved this? I've been working on something similar but have been having some trouble...

I think this would have been a more effective statement if the "I censor moter...." hadn't been misspelled.
