A really nice recreation of Carrie here. Simply but effective. I knew immediately the film it's representing. Using a simple composition allows for attention to detail which really makes the image. The use of lighting is very similar to parts of the film and I love the way you've captured the look in her eye the same as that iconic moment in the move. Well done!

I thought the use manipulation to heavily distort the original image (so heavily it's impossible to see what the original was!) to become something completely new was really interesting. The colours and symmetry are at once mesmerizing and beautiful. I also think the colours nicely refer to the pallet of the film 2001. A really entrancing image here, well done.

I think the really innovative use of scale here makes the image. Something as every-day as small roots and shoots from the ground become something completely different. Even though visually the elements differ from the film they definitely still capture the mood and feel. And the considered composition and focal depth really draw you into this photograph. Nice work, well done.

I loved the innovation of using ordinary elements to create something new different here. The rock and children combined become the story of Gulliver. I really like how the use of silhouette not only allows for the rock formation to be seen as Gulliver himself but also adds a real drama to the image. And compositionally the children are so well placed. All in all a great photo, congratulations.

This is a very pretty image. I enjoyed the use of long exposure and composition to give a really etherial look. The sea always works well using these long exposures with the movement giving it a dreamy cloud like appearance. Unfortunately I didn't feel that it really exemplified the film and would be better suited to a different theme. Still it is a lovely and well executed photo.
