In Nature's Hands

I like the idea. Does the model look OOF to you? Her face seems to be. It's too bad the sky had to be blown or overcast, perhaps a different time of day would have helped. 6

The Lonely Warrior, guarding the Canadian frontier.
by sgracey

Comment:
I think this challenge has a lot to do with the title. Had you just called it "lonely warrior" I wouldn't like it. But the "guarding" is the personification. It's a cute construct, although I prefer the entries which are not constructed. 6

The last kiss in candle light

Cute idea. It took me a moment to put the knife together with the "last kiss" part. At first the "candle light" made me think romantic, but I see now it's an execution. 6

Put Your Teeth In Dear

I see the face, I like the lime versus the red, but I don't get any other strong feelings about this one. 6

...dejected...
by fotodude

Comment:
I had this as a 6, but on second thought I'm bumping to a 7. The best entries convey the feeling before the title is read, this is one that manages that. I can see dejected easily. The composition is nice and the black is nice and rich. I personally like the border, but know some people like to comment on such things. 7

Headache

I'm not too fond of the constructed entries, but I really like the gradient colors you have. Being on the mirror obviously was necessary for the lighting, but maybe detracts from your subject with the duplication. 6

"Shocked"

It's a cute face and a nice play on words. The picture, by itself, isn't too exciting. The highlights are blown, but I think that isn't a big problem with this shot. 6

...and dawn RACES to meet the day

Excellent literary use of personification with the title. The picture is one in which the title is necessary, but that's not completely bad. I do like the sky, although I've learned that sky pictures, even sunsets, do better if they have a foreground subject. 6

Cute idea. The lighting is good. Couldn't you have had her swinging on a pole or something? (just kidding). 6

Even Gardening Can Feel the Shadow of Prayer
by olddj

Comment:
I think it's a creative idea. The personification would have been hit harder if the title directly stated the gloves were praying, but that's small. There are some technical issues. A) There's a color cast (if that paper is white) B) What's up with the corner? C) It's noisy. I'll still give you a 6
