I don't like the way it's cropped. It's like he's asking for one of the players to kick him in the behind. If your intent was to take away his authority, then you were a complete success. Sorry to sound harsh, but that's the way I see it...

Neat lines and I love the shadows. I like that it's more than a simple picture of a sign. There's a solid story to it and it's interesting on many levels. I hope it does well.

ABSOLUT Authoritarian

Perhaps this is too subtle to expect enough people to vote it high. It's sort of clever, but not very well executed photographically. I think the background really kills it.

Doesn't this show the lack of authority? Every one has an equal chance of 'winning' each time, right?

This seems way too overexposed to be intentional.

Neat technique. I'm assuming you'll get marked down for too much post processing, but I hope not. I love it. 9.

Great colors and composition. I love all the little hands reaching towards him.

Interesting setup and I like the sepia tones, but the background is very amaturish (for lack of a better word.) The couch makes it look like a quick snapshot rather than a serious photograph. I have bought a length of black velvet to use for photo's that require a neutral background. In a pinch a tablecloth will usually work as well. I this case I would have brought the objects outside (better lighting) and used a white or wooden background. That's my opinion, for what it's worth.

Too close to tell what this object is. I also find the flare distacting.

Interesting use of sepia tones. I like the composition, the curves at the top and bottom really give it a nice feel. Nice Shot!
