What does this have to do with the challenge? I see only the rounded squares in the glasses as anything near round. Although I can see that what the person is leaning against might be a circle, you don't see enough of it. Otherwise, a very good photo. 4

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Witty title, but a title alone will not give you good scores. The balance seems a bit off, maybe the image should have been turned ninety degrees to the right, and more of the image could have been cropped. 4

Somthing that people should use!

I have to agree with your opinion, however, wouldn't it be better if intercourse did not occur out of wedlock, when both parts has taken a physical? Never mind, I couldn't wait that long if I was ever tempted by the fairer sex. As my father always says: Temptations is the only thing I cannot resist. The same is true here. "Better to have a condom and never need it, than to need it and not have it," indirect quote from Alien Versus Predator.
However much I agree with the message, most of the circle is blocked by the tip of the protection, and it looks a bit filthy which would negate any disease reasons the condom exists, which is why I gave it 5

Lovely subject & composition & colours. This looks almost like what many have thought my image of this challenge to be ... but my subject is nowhere as organic as yours, but you did a wonderful job. 7

Crystal Confusion

If I didn't know that they crack down on photomanipulations such as layers etc here, I would have sworn that this was several photographs pasted masterfully together. The colours & contrasts are excellently put together. You and one other have recieved the highest score I have ever dealt out (although that doesn't say much with my only two / three weeks of competing ...) 8. I know, I'm strict, but you should see how I beat myself up about quality that I cannot fulfill ...

Faded Red Shack

I'm glad you liked it, and you did a good job on fiddling around with it, now it looks almost as when I shot it. Personally, I wanted the environment to look more vibrant than the shack to further the feeling of the shack having become obsolete and faded. Had I done this in Black and White, the feeling of the world around the shack would not have been as strong, and there was little more I could have done with the image because of the Basic Editing Rules. Thank you so much for the nice comment...

Circle of Friends

Comment:
I had originally planned on doing something similar with my father, brother and nephew as subjects, but as my father is in an entirely different country, even a different continent, this task was difficult, not to mention expencive to execute, so I settled for something else.
Lovely composition, even if only a little more could have been cropped off the left side.

Circle of One

Am I wrong, or does this seem like the hero shot of a DVD cover for some action movie? Great shot. 8

Bottom Round

Is there more than water running down her bottom, or is she releaving herself? Looks that way, right? Lovely image, 7
