Excellent trick, and the composition is very good as well. The border isn't really my taste, but I'm giving you a 9 anyway

James Bond's Assassination

Very clever, and looks like an '80s Martini ad. I love the composition (how the corner balances with the olive is particularly good), the colors are great, and it is just plain excellent all-round. The more I look the more I like

The best execution of the brush idea I've seen so far. Excellent

I like the shadow, but not the statue, and all the twinkling is an overkill IMO

Winter Morning on the Dock

This would probably have been better with more contrast, and less sky (the top 1/5th cropped out)

Maybe I'm just daft, but I fail to see how it relates to the subject, even if the lighting source was handheld

I really like it, but the noise is a problem

I cut the camera out of an old magazine ad and crumpled it a bit, then shot it against a white backdrop. I bumped up the brightness and contrast in Photoshop to get the white I wanted, and to burn out the top/left edges.
But I think this would've worked much better with a crumpled image of a yellow flower against a blue sky for example. Something a bit more lively than the camera ad.

Thanks for the comments people :)

The red/brown color showing through on the left is distracting - it'd definetly be better in black&white.

I like the smooth flow of lines, soft colors, and ofcourse the 'trees in the mist' thing. I would've done two things differently: 1. cropped out the dark tree in the right end of the frame, and 2. more sky, less ground. Cropping about half of the dark grass at the bottom and including just a little bit more sky for contrast.
