		I agree with kiwi. I don't understand why this would get so many 1's and 2's.  
 
 Excellent image, David! |

		Thanks for your comments, everyone who did. I figure that some folks didn't think it was *gardeny* enough? It would be nice to know, as I was very pleased with the shot. It's one of my few shots where it came out as planned and where I felt I knew what I was doing the whole time!

		This is a very well taken low-key photo. I "only" gave it a 9 :-)
 
 5 X 1's and 5 X 2's is just so insulting! |

		| This was my favorite shot in the competition. I'm surprised others didn't agree. Your idea, composition, tones and interpretation of the theme make this a winner to me. Congrats on a great photo. |

		| I really thought this would either place, or come in top 10. (Although 55/352 is nothing to sneeze at.) I really like this alot. It shows so much more than most photographs. You should be proud of this one! |

		| Missed this one during the voting, but this is a fantastic shot!  I love the low-key subdued tones and the symbolism connected with the title.  Would have been a solid 10 from me.  I'm jealous... VERY nicely done, David! |

		| This is just incredible. Grigrigirl is this you? If you're someone else, take that question as a compliment because I love her work. If it were up to me I'd end the challenge right now and declare this the winner. |

		fabulous. the imagery, the symbolism, the angle, ... it is appropriately dark -even still, I'd like to see it just a tad brighter or contrasty.. but I wouldn't want to ruin the tones either. (confused yet? LOL)
 overall .. exceptional!
 
 I'm already coming back to this.. It is already a favorite. |

		| This is definitely 'cool' :)  This particular theme shows me a lot of photographic creativity and the black and white is an excellent choice as well.  I have no improvement suggestions for you on this.  I think the low key works well with the theme of 'speak no evil' suggested by the title.  = 10 |

		| Great choice of duotones. The idea is good too, But! what i would have done is, zoom out and apply the rule of thirds, imo. but great shot 9 |
