OK, I'll bite.

About this picture, which took second prize:

I find it to be muddy and diffuse. The subject matter is indeed compelling, 
but the photograph just doesn't grab me. The patient's skin tones are almost 
the same color as the wall behind him, and the clutter distracts me.

Some of the judges are subscribed to the LUG; some are not. If you are a 
judge and you are tempted to reply to my comment please take care not to 
reveal yourself.
