I saw your request for a comment on Art's 10,000th comment thread. Here is my take. First, the post processing on the cross (B&W conversion, contrast) is nicely done. Two things hurt your score. First was the subject itself. The sand is not the main focus of the image no matter what your title implies. Plus, fun cheerful images score better than this type of image. Second, the background is extremely distracting. If you cropped out the top 1/2 to 2/3 of the image (giving it a landscape orientation instead of portrait), the size and placement of the cross makes for a stronger composition.

Whoa! That is EXACTLY what I was gonna say - word for word. ;-)

--------------------------------------------------------------

I ended up opening 16 browser windows, one for each image and I commented on them in random order and then I clicked the post button on each, also in random order. So even the order they were posted in is not the order in which I commented. So we will never know and each of you should consider yours #10,000.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Thanks again.

But, Art, can I have a comment on this.

The picture didn't do too well on voting, yet I am attached to it
in some way. Any comment from you (or anyone else who is interested), will
help me to understand, if I am going the right way or if I am being too wishful.

Thanks!

hahahhaa.

I actually checked my email first, and saw your comment on my New Canada and thought, "no way, that's not even a photo!!! I don't deserve that!"

So it's with a lightened heart that I see that you commented on everyone's and you're a real trooper and an irreplaceable part of DPC.

Rock on Wayne.

There once was a DPC sinner
Who pillaged and burned the town for his dinner
But when Godzilla did say
"No more for today!"
We were ALL declared the 10,000th winner!!!

Ken, many thanks for the comment and I rank among your many many fans who will declare YOU a winner for your amazing photos and unparalleled sense of humor!

God Save the King and long may you reign!

Edit: Sorry...I was ignoring spell check.
