Fantastic self portrait! Those scary eyes are going to haunt me for a while now ... at least I know you meant to look at us all that way ;)

Great colours, textures, pose, composition. This really works, and I HATE pictures of children ;) So that's a 9. I'm going to hate myself for this. 10 ;)

Like a hand reaching for help from inside a prison camp. Oh, it is ;)
So, 9 from me for the best "documentary" shot of the challenge.

Simple, graphic, powerful, 9. Nothing else to say is there? ;)

Simply beautiful! I would have given this a 10 but the lighting on the reeds is slightly disturbing, almost like a touch too much fill-in flash. If it's not, I apologise for the 9 instead of a 10 ;)

Beautiful tones and composition. 9 from me. Oh, go on then, have a 10. This is one of the best two or three in the challenge and there's some great stuff here.

Sorry I didn't have time to comment during the challenge itself. Nice work.

I gave you a 7 for this one. It would have been one of my favourites in the challenge but it had two "faults" (personal opinion only) which bothered me. One is that the subject of the picture is a bit too soft for my liking, my preference would be to see him a little sharper. The other is that I don't see any benefit in tilting the camera. I always knock a point off for that ;)

The burnt out window, crockery and table top just add to the atmosphere.

The toning, composition and the rather dull lighting suit the subject. I can see a lot of "digital jaggies" here though which rather detract from the picture.
Just came back to say those leaves up in the top left of the picture really make it for me ;)

Nice work! Good lighting and textures, I especially like the sparkle on the spilt coffee on the leatherette? The only glitch is what looks like some "digital jaggies" on the thumb and around the rim of the mug. Still an 8 though ;)

Very simple but very effective. The composition is good, the colours work and that little swirl is a brilliant finishing touch. 8
Bumping up to 9 on second pass ;)
