Wonderful work, this is so creative, I love how you have put everything into grayscale except for the arms, legs and face. Best of luck in the contest!!

I wish I had a remaining six for this wonderful photograph. Your white on white, on white is excellent with a terrific contrast and exposure to the boy. The boy with his carrier pigeons receiving a message before sending out one. I would dream when I was young about owning pigeons, carrier, homing, and rollers and tumblers, but never got the opportunity to do so. Wonderful expressive look on the boys face.

An interesting image.I would have preferred it without the pigeons- they look somewhat artificial as though they were added- if they were, then it is too obvious. The image of just the boy in front of the door is absolutely wonderful. Great colours and the door looks as though it is an etching.

A wonderful image. Very thought/provoking and encourages imagination. Nice reflections in water, and beautiful doves.

High on creativity and originality. An image with a great story to tell. Great clarity of the image. Good depth of focus, even showing the imperfections of the white wooden door. The messenger have indeed some important message to tell, maybe, that "it's safe to go out now." Presented with excellence. Lighting and exposure is just right. You've framed this well, too.
