Alright, so I will try something different this time around, and comment on each of the pics, considering I wanna be an active participant in this kind of contest, I don't even know why. Since I opened all the spoilers, from up to down, my feelings changes slowly, but I will exress what I felt in the first second.

abhiken - This guy did a pretty wonderful job, and I was in the brink of voting for him, he did use the moment of the pic in a perfect way, so it fits the theme really well, and it looks like it is professionally taken, Kudos to you man, you work was my 2nd fav.

Hellsbadass - Alright, where should I start...I don't know, but I expected a little more from you. When I saw the New York pic, I was utterly amazed, and I thought you were gonna kill it. But the pic didn't really call out to me. Yes it fits the theme, but the whites are pretty close to greyish, and the way how NB was blurred was a total killer for me. Next time I know you gonna be a lot better U_U

Kimchi Noodles - Amazing work honestly. I loved the colors, and the idea behind it. You even got the smoke of the cigar into a perfect corner, so it basically looks like it was professionally taken. This has to be my 3rd Favorite of these above.

Fayon - The pic is pretty small, therefor we cannot really see much detail in it, which for me is a deal breaker. And honestly it got kind old to take a piece of paper, write NB and put it in one corner, More original ideas guys U_U

EdenDream - Pic of an alley, take in Black and white. Fits the theme yes, but nothing to jaw breaking in it. I would have liked, if NB was for example graffitied on the wall, but that woukd count as property damage, unless it is abandoned. That piece of paper thing, really doesn't call out to me in any way...

sweetyhearty89 - Pretty cute, but a total no go for me. I do not really think that this will be a very good pic to submit, since the idea is pretty simple, and doesn't really have any kind of wow effect. It does have that Awwww~ effect though.

Xarpius - Oreo Cookies spelling NB, the idea is simple, yet pretty funny and delicious. I get the theme and the general idea you had behind this.But it didn't really look insane, and yet again, I am missing that wow effect.

Chiharu - Amazing idea honestly. I giggled while watching this, but after further expecting, I was all like not bad. A very unique Idea, an almost perfect plan. And the Egg yolk is still yellow. So I find it mostly funny and very well thought. Originality of charts, but not my favorite.

Thor - Alright, now we get to honestly my favorite one in this submission. But this has high chances of being the best PhotM Pic which was ever taken. The dices, spelling Nb in mid air, the little heart, the blurred image of you, or whoever else behind there throwing it. This is a pic, that honestly, amazed me. After seeing your submission I felt like I wouldn't be able to compete, no matter what I idea I honestly had. I would love you to take part each month considering how good you are, and force the others to think outside of the box.

All in all, Great pics guys. I am pleased with what you came up with, and I hope you continue like that being active, and mostly creative. I will take part each month from now on as well. Cheers!!!

I read your post and it seems you have good grasp on photography, you have judged all the pics good and write the comments accordingly.

I am not saying this because you liked my submission most, but you have judged almost everything right.

I don't know should I comment on others pics or not since all pics are good, but some are ok and some are very good.

Best of luck every one.

I really loved the last one, the whole picture is really professional, my vote goes for Thor ^^

Good luck to all and thank you for the comment on my picture too. Xarpius gave me some wonderful ideas but I couldn't manage a suitable way to put NB so since I had little time and I don't go that often to that place I could just put NB that way. I can't put it in graffiti lool but it would be awesome yes :)

I'll do my best to be more creative and try and manage a way to improve how I insert NB into the picture

@sixpaths: you do know that it does not strictly have to be black and white :p
the reason why there greyish leaves is because its away from the light source (street light) where as the closer ones got over exposed. I didn't care that much of the tag because my main focus was the pathway and trees. I just needed it to prove I took the picture. also I was holding on the tag and I was using a slow shutter with a low aperture and low iso . I was playing around with the manual setting instead of depending on the high iso my camera has :/ maybe if I used the high iso, higher aperture and shutter speed, I would probable be able to take a better night pic
