Back for comments. A nice nature shot with but unfortunately I think voters will be looking for mother/child relationships. Would have scored much higher if the young were in frame as well.

Back for comments. Great lighting and more important to the voters is that you used a splash of red :) Original concept that I hope is rewarded by the voters. Very nice work Patrinus

Back for comments. I'm not sure I understand the symbolism of the mask and the title doesn't help me either but it's above average in execution and my score reflects this. Well done.

Bumping up slightly. Originally had this scored very low. On 2nd look it's a very strong concept "with" the aid of the title. A young woman sitting alone in the background of a bedroom as a secondary element would've made it a very powerful image and amongst the best in challenge. Better luck with your next submission.

Back for comments. Very interesting capture. I would've like to see a secondary object in the scene to give a sense of scale. Unfortunately though, I don't think the "mother nature" concept will score very in this challenge.

Back for comments. You know you shouldn't have submitted this one. :) A very competent shot but it doesn't represent the theme anywhere near as well as you could've done. Damn our update button addictions. :)
