beautiful abstract. b/w works well here. I think this will go onto my favorites after the challenge.

unique, but it looks cheesy to me. 4

Puzzling Door
by DougPaz

Comment:
the effect has some basic appeal, but it has nothing to do with the shot in specific and could have been done to just about any shot with equal value. The shot itself in question seems pretty well technically executed but doesn't seem to offer much uniqueness, leaving that to the effect. Unless the effect relates to the subject in some way, I don't see that as a valid means of producing a worthwhile photo. 4

very nice shot. The subject and framing are great. I don't like the border effect, and I really don't like the swirls effect. 8 w/o the post-processing. 6

I like the minimalistic qualities of this shot. The simple lines and angles work out pretty well. 6

Aunti Em it's a Twister

Looks fake. Compositionally it doesn't seem to offer much unique or appealing either. 3

Window to the Soul

Comment:
great detail. The placement of the iris in the frame seems unbalenced to me. Perhaps having the iris centered or otherwise cropping just a little wider might help. 8

One of the examples of post shot processing that I really like this week. 8
