DQ or not, I really like the mood & effect here.
Certainly one I would be proud to have in my portfolio. |

Sorry to see this DQ'd. It's wonderful as I said before.
I know the DQ still stings, but if you would be so kind as to post the original pre-editing, we can all learn from this what the site council thinks is too much editing. |

Sorry David, I do know how you must feel. I had a fourth place DQ'd and felt the same things I've seen you expressing in the forums. So happy to have your work accepted and then to have it yanked out from underneath you is a tough rollercoaster to ride.
I continue to wonder what to do with DPC feedback. I always feel better after a DQ to go sell the print as many times, for as much as I can extract, as possible. This has indeed been my salve for my Ansel Adams wounds, and one other.
My point is, you created a great photo, you thought you were within the guidelines (so do I) and you won critical acclaim from your peers. I've appreciated your openess and candor too. Congrats on a fine artistic achievement, and a great finish. You've still got the ribbon in my book - for what that's worth.

| Too bad, but it's still a fantastic shot, ribbon or no ribbon. :-) Just keep telling yourself that over and over and eventually it'll hopefully get better. ;-) |

| David... Sorry about the DQ! No matter what you do you can't get an uncontested winner! Just know you are a really good photographer and that some image you really don't care much about or you don't put much work into will probably win you the blue ribbon... That is what happened to me. Keep trying! |

| i'm interested to see how you achieved the motion in this. the image as a whole is edgy and creative. full marks for creativity. keeping the person as sharp as you did must have been a feat with the longer exposure. very well done. |

| Wonderful aura of calm and serenity to this shot. I can almost imagine being on the phone in a tunnel such as this and speaking to someone I love and that discussion being so central to me that everything around me falls silent in my head and I hardly notice the details... A great image! 10 |
