I really like dark shots, but the blacks have to have detail. Great representation of strenght in the expression of your subject. 7

You'll probobly here some guff that this is no more than a photograph of someone elses art, but I think you've done a great job here. I like the crop, the tones, and the creative interpretation of the theme. 8

Way too pixelated. That pixelated sky might only be cuased by the way that you are saving your file. I'm not sure.

Bey you wish this was an advanced editing chalenge. The imperfections in the egg, the digital spots on third finger, the dust spot above the thunb, and the digital noise that outlines the entire hand really distract from a a great studio concept. I can see you interpretation of strenth, think that you lighting is good, and your composition is excellent. Nice work! 7

Digital cameras have such a hard time with white. I perceive the strength here, but there just isn't any detail.

I gave this foto an 8, but your comment is out of line here. Photography is subjective, and on this site, majority rules. The subject of this picture is the girl, not the wheel. It is encouraged here that we give maximum consideration to the theme. That's the dificulty of this challange oriented site. Coming up with ideas twice a week that fit. My guess is that many people didn't think that it met the challange. You are exactly right that this is a wonderful shot, but your playing long odds going 113 to 1.

Rotate this subject and get rid of that distracting white rope and I'm with you on this one. Could be a litle darker to get rid of the wash out at the hub. Nice shot. 6

Very, very nice. Do I want more detail in your blacks? In this case yes. Lack of detail in the blacks of the upper right are tugging at my eye. Nice work. 7
