Very good capture, and suits the challenge perfectly. Maybe B&W would give it more pop? Don't care much for the title though.

Too Late?

I am really into these kind of shots and I have to say that IMHO yours are excellent. I would not crop this one, the scarfs really frame the picture and "anchor" it into the street, if you know what I mean. Good work.

Very nice. Hmmm... a CD, the sky, camera on a tripod reflected in the ball - I like it. Only problem here, seems a bit noisy / over-sharpened.

Original challenge interpretation, good DOF. Don't care much for the lighting, colors and title though...

Wow... awesome idea. Definitely most original thing I've seen in a while, and would have been unique in the challenge.

That said, might have been brought down a bit by technicalities. Graining for one, then lighting could be less flat (light up the lamp maybe?). As glad2badad said, a border would also take it a long way.

I try to vote more based on feeling and emotion than technical issues, so I would have probably scored this an 8 or a 9.

Would have liked a bit more context, and the square crop doesn't really work for me. I like the B&W job.

Black Eye

Hmm... very good. Should have worked wonders in the Grain challenge as well - I think the graining adds a lot to the photo. Good make-up job. Maybe a bit softer contours on the black eye?

Would have preferred a shallow DOF with the focus through the door, instead of on it.

Good idea, and superb colors and lighting. Maybe better with the red end stretching more into space?
