Not a bad start.

Didn't have a lot of time to edit this entry, there are some changes I would have made if I could have... but, for what I've entered, I'm pleasantly surprised at the current score. :)

Let's see how it holds, considering it's an open challenge.

simple but a bit trite. another photo where the black and white is very controlled, like the DOF, but it is not clear to me for what purpose. 3

I like the DOF, but I'm not sure of the angle that you chose. It looks a little flat overall, both in composition and in tonality, imo. I'm curious what it would have looked like at more of a diagonal on the keyboard, and with the whites a little whiter. -5-

4..it seems like the obvious solution to me. The execution could be better. The light is flat and seems to be from above. The b&W conversion is nice and contrasty but it lacks depth. Many shadow areas have lost their information and the whites could use a bit more pop.

I like the concept overall. It's a little underexposed.

I can honestly say that this image calls to me. it's power over me growing stronger yet!

i love the simplicity of the setup; this is what it's truly all about - a story in an glance, a picture for 1000 words as they say.
an 8 from me.
i'd give it a 9 and have it as a contender for my favorite image, except for the top left of the image being a tad too distracting with the lighter area existing where my mind wants to see a dark spot

The floating mask works well and helps to meet the challenge. But there's something missing - I can't put my finger on it. I guess it's missing excitement? A 6 from me

Cool.

Image works for the novel, and the overall image is good. Well lit, well processed, and a reasonably good composition.

I like the image. I like the detail in the mask. I like the overall composition.

Gave it an 8

Evocative shot although a greater sense of horror would have been appropriate. Anyway, nice and clean photography. 6

I'm not a fan of a collection of objects that are obvious symbols. Yes, these are two things that are sort of in Phantom of the Opera. Yes, you created an image that sort of connects to the book. But to get a good score from me the image must have some merit beyond that. I don't see it. 2

The tones, DOF and shiny keys all stand out on this shot, but I can't get away from feeling like I've seen it before. 6

Good try, pretty well composed. I would have cropped a little tighter on the right. The mask ornaments distract though. Also the whites seem a little washed out. 5

Ah the classic story. Got the essential ingredients there, though I'm fond of the half face mask myself, but props are props, the relationship is established. B&W is a good choice.5.

Perfect shot for that title.

a little simplistic, a little indecisive, a little boring

Bit of a mish mash here, not keen on the mono. Composition lets this down.5.
