I saw this in my head all week and after finding a hat at Target, got my son to agree to be the model. I don't even care how I score because I love it and think it's a fitting tribute. I thought the star on his shoulder was cool and I didn't even do that.
Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson.

Before even knowing what you might come up with, I knew you would be a serious contender in any expert editing challenge. This is your forte, and this photo proves it! Your exquisite use of light and contrast puts this photo in a league of its own. I'm so surprised it doesn't have a ribbon under it.
Congratulations on front page honors, and a fabulous new addition to your profile page!
I had to come back and comment again on what a great shot I thought this was. I gave this a 9, wished I'd given it a 10. I feel this was very well done and an excellent tribute. Congrats on a top 10
what an ausome photograph and tribute to the one and only "King of Pop!" This is also the very first title that came to my mind when I received the news.
