These entries are in general mediocre. Why so few entries...

There are at least 5 images that got "disqualified" for some reason including one of mine. Not sure what I did wrong all that was said was "Additional rules: Must be solo male or female between the ages of 17-19. No group shots. You must explain the set up of your shot (e.g., lighting setup, editing technique, etc...)"

I believed I did this. Oh well, good luck to the others.

There's something slightly pervy/creepy about this entry for me. Perhaps I'm a mega-prude.

Agreed. Not only that, this is simply a terrible challenge.

Many photographers shoot Senior Portraits. Why is this any more pervy than other challenges whose subjects are young people?

@xml500. To me, the harmony of colors is a winner. It also bears a psychological feeling: a young girl who still belongs to her family and who bestirs a parental instinct in the viewer. This is my humble opinion.
