Op Challenge? Sounds like a doctors reality tv quiz show.

Solitude

One of three tens i felt compelled to give in this weeks challenge. Expression, composure, lighting, focus, DOF (?), everything is totally right. I wish you could give just one picture a week an 11, for this would be it. as it is, 10.

A Man

Comment:
A very excellent submission - though only slight teething problem for me is the very blackness of the guys over-coat. I know it can't be helped, but if the coat were greyer (or blended in with the back ground a little less) it might have given shoulders more shape? Still, a really good portait - 9.

This is a really great picture, one of my top three from the challenge. composition and lighting (to me) appears really spot on. 10

Model in daffodils
by KevinRiggs

Comment:
This is a nice enough photo - the only things I can think that might improve it is a little more light (though it might be my screen, not sure) and i'm afraid to say it, a little less hat. I find it a little overpowering - perhaps if there was more of the model in the model / hat ratio? 7.

This is a fantastic picture, doubly impressive for double the monkey. I like it very much - 9.

The Viagra Experiment
by Louison

Comment:
This is the only 10 i felt to compelled to give this week. Sheer comedy value is obvious, but the fact that I feel it's one of the (very) few compositions that falls within the remit of the challenge, and shot exceedingly well, means that for me, it's the very easy winner, and must be ribbon-worthy. nice one, and well done :)

Bloody hell that's a big moggy! Or is it that the other two are further away? Not entirely sure the light switches and wall is necessary on the right. Cute picture anyway - 7.

Where You Can Hear Yourself Think
by dirtkahuna

Comment:
One word immediately comes to mind upon viewing this one:- Elegant. I think it's quite wonderful, definitely conveys quietness, and it's understated appearance really works. Only slight criticism is that it might be nicer a bit squarer, possibly with the tree filling the space a little more (with a little less foreground?). Don't know, it's more a preference than a criticism. So 10 it is.

It's a model! blimey - took me a while to actually twig there - very excellent shot fooling me. I'm not entirely sure it is a model actually. Is it? Dammit, what a convincing picture. You make this? Very well done. Totally splendid! 10.
