| Great choice for greyscale. I think moving the guitar out of the way would make it stronger, but it is still a cool image. |

| So cool that the shadow from the windows reflects on the woman and then you see the windows in the background as well. I love her look and this moment makes me wonder what he is about to say (or has already said). Very cool photo. |

I absolutely loved this during voting. Not surprised (though disappointed) that it didn't score higher, since it's not very dpc-esque. However - HUGE congrats on the Posthumous blue!! In my mind, that's a real prize.
This photo is completely inspired and so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. |

| Thank you, Don, for honoring this and for putting into words the magic it held for you. For me the magic was different and I'm not able to express it as well, but magic it is still the same. And thank you Christian, for taking it and sharing it with the rest of us. |

Yes. Yes. Yes. There are gods and angels who live among us, and you found them. You brought them, living, to my eyes, cupped in your subjects like the water of youth in trembling hands.
You knew dpc would not understand, right? They would not see the connection between the windows in the back and the window of light this couple dwells in. They would not see the essential difference of light between his face and hers, as he gazes upon her, as she gazes upon them. They will not notice her step towards the piano, as though frozen in a movement toward music, or climbing into a plane to some country Humphrey Bogart will never see again. They will not see the strange, painful, chaotic love of the guitar for the piano. They may not even notice where the epiphany is inscribed. Nor will they realize that the trees through the windows are the very ones out of which humanity climbed in order to hunt on the plains, to shake spears and cavort in cocktail lounges.
But you submitted it anyway, to be dismissed, to be forgotten, to be tinkled with advice about being too close to the edge. It is the essential cruelty that parents cannot avoid, the introduction of creation to Creation. I commend you for that, and I award you this worthless intangible shred, the Posthumous Blue Ribbon.
(they also did not notice that her right arm is missing, and stamped with a dark cross... perhaps a price she had to pay. I wonder if she also sold away her voice, like the mermaid.) |

| This is quite intriguing to me. At first glance, she's almost unreal, unreachable - he's a bit more in the shadows, a bit more average and real. The looks they have - she toward the camera, he toward her, emphasize this. Nice addition of the guitar. |
