The depth of field effect of this does not work for me. It turns the photo into a large blob of unfocus

Great effect with the basic composition. The angle of the numbers makes this photo, as well and the lighting applied.

The idea of this is good, however the composition looks messy. The crap and angle shot at also do not help the effect

Cropping off the top and the right hand side totally distract from the photo in this case.

A Universal Language

Music is a Universal language that doesn't matter if you understand the words or not. Great take on the challenge topic for this.

Angle is great, depth of field is great. Lighting seems to be the problem here. It is difficult to get the light right to show enough detail and not have either under or overexposed areas. The lighting is reasonable, but did need to be a bit better to get the top socres

I know what you were trying to achieve with the processing, but it means the cart no longer stands out from the background, and therefore the impact is lost

Love the processing of this, love the image. I think everything you have left here has its place, even the cropped out picture. The light is good, it all works.........

Thank God!!!
Nice idea, nice capture, difficult to light this well though, and not sure about the crop here, it seems not quite right.........however, the subject is positioned correctly, so I don;t really know how I would do it to make it better

A very flat image, but that is the look that I think you were going for, and it suits the type of image and what you are trying to say here, so it works. She is a little too centred for me. I feel you needed to crop out the right hand side, have her sitting on the third line, the sheep than through the picture, with some space to the left showing where she is walking towards. Shooting further along the path (ie captureing further to the left) could have reqally made a massive difference here, and got you a really good score.
