I like the oddness of this one - I wonder how a contrasty monochrome with some burnt edges might look...

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Supreme clarity and focus on your subject
2. Gorgeous colours - look at that read
3. The synergy of lighting and subject
4. The separation of your subject from the background people
5. The overall sense of being there.

Really lovely stuff. Like Mark Wiley's eye. I wonder if it is.

1. Real life moments are always a delight to behold
2. That delight is part of the moment
3. That high fidelity doesn't get in the way of humanity.
4. The imperfections make the shot: the slight blur, the grain/noise, the pushed tones.

Overall, much more than the sum of its parts.

One of the best photographs I've ever seen on DPC (or anywhere).

1. This is an astonishing image - like a movie scene. Such intensity.
2. I've been watching '24' from the beginning (it's new to me) and have noticed the shooting through the scenery camera shots - that covert feeling is captured here too.
3. Nailed focus and exposure - I'm guessing you didn't have too long to compose either.
4. Fabulous and well-balanced composition - what an angle you have.
5. Super tones - perfect choice for this image.

Outstanding photograph. I'm looking forward to finding out who shot this.
