I like your composition. I think you are going to suffer with the voters because this isn't a studio-type setup, which is a pity.

Good shot of a notoriously difficult subject. The bowls are a bit of a distraction though- the blue stripe is a bit ugly and looks out of place.

Good DOF and border choice. Not sure about the composition.

Really amazing setup. Would have been so much better though if you had managed to get the background white in processing by playing with the levels. You may possibly have it anyway, but I imagine that would have guaranteed you the blue.

Very pretty. I think the unusual crop is pleasing to the eye, but not particularly appropriate for a catalog or advertisement. Same with the image grain, which I personally love, but not for that application.

Great selective desaturation.

Nice work. Is that a model in the foreground and a real outdoor scene in the background? Very effective.

Really really great lighting. I'm just not taken with the composition of the shot. I feel like two subjects were not necessary, and you should have just stuck to the skull. Also the subjects looked cramped in the frame. More space around them would have been good I think.

Having said that, it would have been a very hard decision for me to crop out the glass, because it looks so fantastic :)

Really stunning shot. Lighting is excellent and focus is good. My equal pick for the red. 8.

Really great sharpness. I thought that one of the other shots in the challenge was Oliver's (h2), but this would work really really well as a stock image, so maybe this one is his.

Really good job - bumping to 8.

Sharpness, color and contrast are all spot-on. A lot of attention must have gone into those reflections!
Nice use of the water drop to add interest (hope you don't get slaughtered in voting because of it!).

Not 100% convinced by the composition of this shot. Had the potential to be a blue ribbon, but I put it equal second - 8.

I'm probably wrong, but I'm going to guess that this is Oliver's.
