Top points for putting together a photo that gets an emotional response! But many people won't view this merely as a sexual photo, but as a crude sexual photo (& photos that are just sexual get enough grief!)

You're a skilled photographer & lots of things about the shot are well done - lighting, colors, background, shadow, frozen motion, etc., but this is like displaying a photograph of a popular, well-loved celebrity being killed (& the body being mutilated), then shaking one's head sadly because the celebrity's fans couldn't remove their emotions from the situation & admire the technical expertise of the photograph.

Opaque View of the Outside World

The Cream Soda ad takes up a lot of the photo (because of its size & the strong solid color giving it lots of visual impact) - it almost becomes the subject of the photo (with the old building becoming an interesting background feature).

Like the post-processing, though. Extra points because of that!

The Plough

Great idea to include the old stone wall & the fields in the background. Really emphasizes the idea of old pastoral farm life. The blue sky & clouds finish it off nicely.

Just wish there could have been sunshine on the plough itself as the white balance looks a little off. 8.

Seriously Obsolete

Love the rotten fruit placed around this (& the fact that the camera's lying on the floor) - this really emphasizes the challenge's theme.

Obsolete Hay Baler

Good find, but I think there's so much more potential to this picture. Not everyone's thrilled with the idea of lying on their back in the weeds to shoot from a different perspective, but I think that would have added a lot to this shot.

Nice composition. The second boat in the foreground adds a lot to this visually.

Good idea, but I think the out of focus background hurts the photo.

Wow. A lot going on in this photograph to catch the eye. Good composition. I definite think B/W was the better choice, but I still wonder how it would have looked in color...

Nice subject, but hard to distinguish it amongst all the other items.
