That expression doesn't so much say "puzzled", or even "lost" to me as it says "sulking" or "distressed".

The Missing Link

Very striking and the white facepaint really focuses attention on those beautiful eyes.

What a beautiful image. The fog makes the entire scene more intriguing, and somehow more dramatic too. The high contrast black and white is perfect, and helps make the shot feel timeless. I love the bird stretching it's neck upward is in silhouette but the other birds have some details in the light. It works so well.

Source of Light

Wow! With the reflection of the aurora borealis in the water, not to mention the way the water leads the eye into the image, this is one of the more striking northern light images I've come across.

Wow, is she really in the fishpond? Kudos to her, you wouldn't catch me in there with all that floating fish poo! ;) Like this one a lot, it's quirky, interesting composition, great high contrast black and white...

Clearly needs post editing!

This is a fun idea! I think it would work better if the clear plastic on which the graffiti eyepatch, beard and stitches are drawn were the full width of the frame so that one couldn't see those two edges. Also, positioning so the stitches were more accurately over skin would be good too. BUT it's such a fun idea, I like it!

The Letter

I like the idea but it actually took me a little while to realise that the shadow towards the top is an inkwell, the small circle at the feather tip a spilled drop of ink and that the message is half-written. I like the idea though.

Heh, love that textured glass. I like the effect the glass has on the shape and colours behind.

Beautiful portrait. Whilst I've no doubt whatsoever that this meets the challenge, I would say that there's only limited visual representation of it in what we see and it's more a case of slight blurriness in the chin area than anything obvious. But lovely sharpness of detail and composition.
