I thought I'd actually have a look at some of your photos after all that...
I like this a lot, certainly it's one of the better entries in the challenge. While it might not have told a story to the same extent (and thus might not have done as well), I think this may have been better aesthetically without the glass. With or without its a really great shot.
COOL! I'm not really sure what to say... An expression of human physical strength with a humourous twist that's completely in keeping with the challenge. This is an absolutely marvellous shot...
This is incredible. It is so creative and powerful: the arm, the rough stone in background, apple and glass come together to form a wonderful composition. It was a very good idea to have him compress the apple as it defines the musculature of arm in juxtaposition to the wall...the tonal quality is excellent..9
I kind of like this one. The colors a good but I think the light is the weakest part. His arm has a bit of a green tint to it. The over all idea is good.
Awesome detail, composition, lighting on the apple. I usually don't like cut off arm and hand shots, but you have framed the arm right here so it doesn't look unnatural. One of my top ten. Using a glass without lines in the glass might have made the dripping juice clearer.
This might have been better against a white or cream colored wall. It is really an interesting picture. You can almost feel how strong this guy's muscles are.
