Sisters and sinners by HelenaJ

Definitely think this is a good photo, particularly as it doesn't show the expected happy smiling faces, but shows a bit more character. Good lighting, I like the dappled effect on the floor.

Love the tones here, great shot

Boating on Reflection by twelvemegs

Love version 1 for its colours, but the scene is so timeless that version 3 works beautifully in sepia.

Morning by Baden

Lovely image, and the tones work really well in mono, my guess is the background would be very obtrusive in colour as I assume the flowers on the wallpaper are red. Good choice of treatment.

Deep in thought by Angi_Wallace

Love the night time feel of this.

Blue steel by sadmurph

Definitely a winner, the DoF is good, had any morel of the bridge been in focus I think it would have ruined the shot, as you say this image was partly fortuitous but I think you must still take much of the credit.

Hannah by garth01

Really great look, the eyes are captivating.

Sarah by K4RL

The model, pose, lighting and processing are all very good, but like Philo I would be inclined to lose the little black patches on the floor and wall. But still very good.

Love the look, very 60's postcard. Great.

It's Grim Up North by ade_mcfade

Great shot Ade, despite the weather. Am I allowed to vote on this, or do I have to wait until you've spent the 4.5 hours messing with the image.

Bradford by ade_mcfade

cracking shot of a great building, you've even managed to hide the huge building site to the right of City Hall, an acheivement in its self.

I like the simplicity of this mono rendering. Great model and another enjoyable evening.

Off Camera by Daisy_intheMill

I prefer the mono version, however this is partly down to the look on the girls face. Having looked at Woodrows photo as referee to above I think the major difference is that the subject in this case appears to be looking into space rather than looking at something or someone specific out of shot.

I like the mono treatment, the lack of eye contact can work, however in this case I am not so sure, the little girl appears to be looking at someone out of shot, which unfortunately I find slightly distracting.
