Who Invited The Black Guy?

Good concept, good composition. Doesn't really grab me, though. Probably would with more contrast and having the lighting be brighter on the black head. I also think it'd work better with the black head sharper than the rest; while I'm not normally distracted by minor stuff, the sharp ones on the left do pull my eye over there.

I also struggled a bit with the title, but decided it was a wry commentary on racists, not an offensive title in itself.

In a free study, I probably would've voted this a 4, which for me means "nice try, some quality problems and not grabbing me." But in this challenge in particular, where people seemed to struggle to both have a solid concept and execute it, I'm voting it a 6.

Awesome shot. Congrats on the ribbon!

In every free study I always choose one photo to be the best of the lot, and this was it, at least in theory. Turns out I placed you at the bottom with the chafe.

I'll let you off the hook. If your 1 had instead been a 10, it would've raised the score to 7.2149, still in 3rd place.

Thanks for yet another laugh. Something in your sense of humor tickles mine. :) And your title is just perfect.

Also, I agree wholeheartedly with this:

It's 7! Algebra and other forms of math would fall apart without the rules of operation. :)

Interesting angle on this statue. It took me a minute to realize it was a statue!

I love all the elements of this photo. I just wish the kid and the bird weren't so far into the corners - it makes them feel disconnected to me.

Neat, you're on fire recently! I'm enjoying how different this edit is compared to your Street Photography entry, yet just as good. Actually, this is even better.
