Haha this is great! It must've taken you forever to get it all set up. I think I agree with the other commenters that a more straight-on angle would have been nicer. Personally, I would have liked to see a regular background used... with the newspaper as background, the whole thing just feels way too cluttered to me. Either that or perhaps a little depth of field - to make the background blurry - might have helped out. But really awesome idea and great work! :D

This makes for a very disturbing thumbnail. :) Nice image though!

This is one of my favorites in this challenge. The visual simplicity of neutral colors makes this an attractive image, and I think the concept of 'dance,' is more passionately and realistically portrayed here than in any of the other challenge images. Something about how the viewer cannot see the boy's face gives a sense that he is lost in expression of his emotions, giving this image a poignant honesty. Yes, the staged portraits of cute little girls in flowery ballet costumes will probably get the high scores - but it's images like these that encourage me to keep hunting for more of the good stuff - it is out here. :)

I love the composition here, all the geometric shapes and variations of texture, color shade. I want to visit Ireland someday!

I'm not sure about the composition - my eye's wandering a lot from the can, to the tree, the chair, the blanket.... but I love the classy black and white, the tones. The shallow DOF was what really caught my eyes at first, it really brings out the texture of the wood grain gorgeously!

WOW!!! What a capture, and lovely tones too. I like the old-timey feel of some of these images.
