A Sign of Love?

Great picture; it really works within the challenge. Also, good make-up work. Of course, the red is not very "natural," but then I'm sure it's not supposed to "look real," but just emphasize the situation (which it succeeds in doing). Technically, the lighting, composition, etc., are all great. You know what would be teriffic: using selective color. Make it a black-and-white picture, with just the bruises left red. (I understand that you might have been unable to do that for this challenge.) The title, too, works quite well. Great work.

Cool concept. Technically, it leaves a bit desired, but, as a picture in this challenge, it more than works. Nice work; creative.

Very clever picture. Technically, it's perfect: great focus and sharpness, warm colors, perfect compostion. Not a thing wrong with this one: excellent job.

Oh, man, truly great, Such detail (I take it you had a pretty small aperture [I could be wrong]), yet such a sharp, focused image. I love the strong contrasts, as well. Teriffic work.

I like it. Unfortunately, the contrast between the room and the outdoors is just too great for your camera to handle. I honestly can't say that you should have "sacrificed on the side of..." as the dark is too dark, and the bright is too bright. Maybe a little additional lighting in the room could have helped even things out (though, then, white balance might have presented a problem). As it stands, it's a good idea, and a good photograph, but not much more.

Your focus seems a bit off: neither the canon nor the landscape is perfectly clear. I love the compostion, but a tighter aperture might have made this picture truly great.

I love the way the colors work here: They're stark, yet they have appeal. Good work.

LOL! I love the title. Technically, the shot is just about "OK," but this is one of those really creative pictures, wherein the subject matter rises above technical limitations. Nice work.

The thick white border actually seems to hurt this shot. It's a hillarious picture, though it is a bit weak (technically). Nevertheless, the subject is just great enough for me to be fond of the shot. Nice work.
