You might as well have entitled this 'Chicken Dinner' given the degree to which it shouts 'winner, winner'.

I love this photo.

Dark, contrasts and purposeful. Very well seen and executed. 8.

The Long Summer Daze

For me, this doesn't represent the sort of image I'm hoping to enjoy in this challenge. Of course there's nothing technically wrong with the image, but it holds little interest for me. I'm one of those DPC members that likes the blur, the texture, the unusual motif and will often be pursuing the 'posthumous' thread. You'll know yourself that this isn't that sort of image - for which some voters may be very pleased! I'm just not one of them.

For me the 'Art' challenges are about embracing the avant-garde, going beyond (or falling short of) conventional representations, this image doesn't really do that for me; but I do like the overall scene and coloration - enough for a (not disastrous) 6.

Of course there's nothing technically wrong with the image (I'd score it pretty well in a regular FS) but it holds little interest for me here.

Like a jazz band on a pilgrimage. Effective and more than the sum of its parts. 8.

Very well done. Fantastically well judged - you've picked something that will fly with the impressionists and the literalists. Clever and well-executed. 8.
