Hey congrats on a top ten with a great image! Who's Patrick's girlfriend? She's hot! :)
Post actions
Not sure why, but this is a very interesting photo.
Post actions
You do beautiful work. Love the effect!
Post actions
What have you done to Patrick?? I don't remember him being that gray when I was there, was he? Maybe... Tell him I said hello and thanks for being a patient model with a dummy. The one in the window - THAT dummy.... sheeesh! :-)

This is brilliant! I think it should have ribboned. One of my favorites in this challenge. Really love this processing.

I love the processing on this! The nostalgic feel to it makes dirty look like something I want to hang on my wall!

great emotion here.Most people comment on the technical aspect but I don't hear much on the emotional/artsy aspect. Great composition. Thw wwf hat is ironic. Great shot
Post actions
An excellent portrait- well-lit, fine detail, with artistic touches leading into a story which the viewer can write.
Post actions
Now, this I get, I understand, and I like!
Post actions
wierd enough to keep me interested. Mannequins totally freak me out. GL.
Post actions
Great technique, I seem to want to cropp tighter on the right, up to his coller, and add more dirt to his coat.
Post actions
Great shot and great editing. Even the shout out to "Bud" is cool.Hope to see your processing information. 10
Post actions
Great candid... I particularly like the product placement ;-)
Post actions
Excellent protrait for the challenge. His eyes seem a little red but may be my monitor.

Dare I call this "Bear Music processing"? Is this going to be the biggest thing since Joey Lawrence processing? Regardless, this is a great image that fulfills the challenge well. 9

This is a real looking scene. The WWF hat is a nice touch.
Post actions
Great job. I like the whole composition and the grittiness. 8
Post actions
Very nice contrast between the man and the mannequin.
Post actions
Nice shot, but I believe I would have liked it more without the HDR treatment. As it is here I'll give you 6 - a nice "normal" version would probably have earned you a 7.
Post actions
Good one. Different from usual DPC pictures.
Post actions
Nicely processed. The head in the window adds quite a bit. 7
Post actions
For all I know it could be real dirt, but it looks like make-up after the processing.
Post actions
Like the detail and the detached head in the window.
Post actions
Now, this is nice! Hopefully, you'll provide details at the of the challange
Post actions
Funky and offbeat, very fun in a quirky kind of way. Nicely done!
Post actions
Love the processing - great composition - wish his eyes were focused on the camera -but it is still an awesome picture!! Excellent work!!
Post actions
This has so many great things about it but I can't help but think that the pose seems unnatural - as if the camera is so close that the man is trying to allow focus on the background and himself by leaning back toward the window. This has huge potential for some sort of message It think - especially with the mannequin head. also: Taking away the logo hat and fleece jacket could make this more timeless me thinks.
Post actions
Love most of the picture; but that head on the left is distracting. The guy has interesting features that cause me to ponder, but then the eyes on that damn haunted/possessed head suck my gaze right in and I have to pull away to look at what I'm really interested in in the picture. Love the weathered wood and the old budweiser can. Get rid of that damn head and I'll give you a 10!
Post actions
Nice, sort of. This is tone-mapped, right? It looks more like a drawing sort of. Also, I am not sure how this fits in with "dirt". Is it the dirty face? or the clutter behind the window? It does have a dirty, old, rustic kind of feel to it though. ~6

I like the processing on this one, but can't decide if the subject is supposed to be the guy, or the head in the window.
Post actions
nice HDR feel...I'm not certain the mannequin is necessary but it's certainly interesting
Post actions

This is cool. I like how the head in the window is sort of a mimic of his. The red eyes are GREAT! 8
