Post challenge: this entry is pending validation - it had been DQd for using the Yellowed I preset in NIK Silver (which created the funky border) and was not in voting for about two days.

Interesting... I have no vote registered on this one, but voted 100% on the challenge. Presumably this was DQ'd during the voting stage, but this means that should you now be validated, you may have unfairly missed out on some votes - albeit I guess that could have worked either way. I probably would have given this a 6 or a 7 (would have to see it in context with all my other votes to determine which and that's sadly not possible now). Had I given a 6 you are better off without my vote as it was below your average. Had I given a 7 you have lost out as it would have bumped you up a bit. Of course there may have been some more 7-10 votes heading your way that you never got :-/
Very emotional image. The separation between the two adults and the bald child separating them. All gazing off into the distance as if into the future and past.
I like how you resist the compulsion to straighten stuff according to some arbitrary guidelines. I equally like the mystery surrounding the trio (if they are a family, why don't they relate one to the others?). Processing also works.
I really like the feeling of movement here. This is one of the best shots in the challenge, I give you a (10) ten, but since most people don't have the sophisticated eye that I do, watch out, it means you finish near the bottom! best of luck/
Interesting sky, and gate. the angle gives me a bit of vertigo. I like the expressions of the male and female, but I can't quite make out what the shape between them is. It looks almost like a child sitting down?
