Demonstrating Cultures Of Old

Great color tone. I know the subject needs to include some foreground earth, but, IMO, the image would be improved by cropping up from the bottom just a bit, to avoid having the bold line between the plowed eartha and the background fall so exactly in the center of the image. Stepping back a few feet to get more space on both vertical sides would also help, I think, to show the amount of work that needs to be done. But those are nits, it;'s avery nice shot - Overall a 6 from me.

The tilted horizon detracts a bit, IMO, especially around the ceiling of the room. The B&W conversion could have used just a bit more contrast. Subjects and composition are good. Overall a 6 from me.

I promised you a more detailed comment - it is totally the subject matter that I don't like in this. I find it offensive. So, I skipped it in voting (and just left the comment) because I didn't want to vote you down just because I dislike the subject.
Technically, I think this is a great set of shots. My very few technical suggestions are - - the top right photo is a bit dark on the left side, especially contrasted against the girls photo. I might suggest that you do a vertical flip the shot of the guy digging to even out the lighting in the top two. Also, on the bottom shot, the horizontal bar above the sink detracts a bit, you could have perhaps cropped it a bit to remove that. And, I would also suggest cropping up by about the same amount from the bottom of the image, to remove a bit of the extra arms, so overall, cropping in tighter from the top and the bottom, but leaving the sides as they are, since the tightness on the sink really draws the eye into the center of the overall triptych. If I could have voted without dropping your score due to the subject matter, I'd have given this a 7 or 8.

Not sure the blue bars add anything to this photo.

oops. Focus problems. Also, the addition of the triptych baars don't seem to compliment this image. Keep trying.

Great composition. Very nice B & W conversion, too. I'm not a fan of such big borders, but overall a 9 from me

Oh my. I think your white balance may be a bit off.

Priceless expression. excellent lighting in what looks like a very difficult situation. I think this would make a great "demotivation" poster with a caption something like "Always remember - there are worse jobs than yours" 8 from me.
