Wow, what a charged scene! That's a sculpture, I take it?

This is a great example of how a 2-D photo of a 3-D artwork can show the photographer's touch through framing, choice of lighting (even if it's a time of day to put the sun in the right spot), and choice of background (heavy, roiling clouds as opposed to a blue sky).

Well done!

Great use of DOF to get across your point. The title's almost an afterthought because the picture communicates so well.

EXCELLENT! Can't wait to hear how you did this. Is it a mask?

This is my favorite of the challenge, and is going in my favorites.

Must've been tough to choose this or the gold challenge.

I like this shot a lot. I have no problem with allowing color in this challenge as long as the subject's B&W. And you met that well here.

The cropping does a great job of showing what he's dangling over, emphasizing the tension in the photo.

This is going in my favorites. It doesn't hurt that I used to climb. :)

Wow. Disturbing and intruiging at the same time. 9.

This evokes strong emotions of abandonment or loneliness. Cropping it with the window so high also really brings to mind a cell or some similar room where the gloominess is emphasized by a high wall.

Great job! Going in my favorites.

I'm glad you got validated. I hope you'll share how you got the tones so B&W!
