This is easily my favourite of this month's free study, and the only 10 I've given. This has to be a ribbon winner... there is NOTHING about it that isn't great. Splendid effort!!!

This is a Hot Pasta photo if ever I've saw one... an outstanding image at that. LOVE the processing and it's as sharp as a tac. Will probably ribbon... top 10 at the worst.

Beware of the Joker

Hosier's lane... LOVE IT! Love the motion and the desaturarion used to make the joker's mouth standout... may have otherwise been lost with all the colours. Look forward to seeing whose this is.

This challenge is awash with Melbournians... great colour and juxtaposition of statue and man. Processing has created some haloing, which will hurt with the voters... also feel the crop, both top and bottom is going to cost you some points in the end... might have been worth your while to get on the ground and get the whole building in the background.

A Melbournian!!... Nice image. I love the juxtaposition of the newly weds with the advertising on the tram.

My wife asked if this was the "backstreet boys in 20 years time"? Harsh! Then she noticed me in the shot.
