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 8s - I like it. 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. Another Johanna Ghost fabric shot - this one is very figure-in-a-dress-without-the-figure like; the fabric has great form.

2. I really like the contrast between subject and background; both photographically and in relation to the delicacy of the fabric and the monolithic nature of the architecture.

3. I like how it is nearly monochrome but still clearly colour.

Great stuff - I like how this is part of a series too - how it articulates with a body of work.

1. Great street shot - full of life.

2. Beautiful rich coloration that does justice to the great light you have here.

3. A good story being told - I wonder what they are talking about.

4. Great management of exposure and use of your dynamic range - detail in shadows and highlights without compromising the appearance of having effective (and high) contrast.

5. Really good composition within the frame.

So much is right here - it's almost a photography lesson in a single image.

1. Such superb execution of timing and focus is always compelling - you have it in spades here.

2. Perfect DOF - we have isolation of subject but with enough background context to ground the image within the wider environment.

3. Your image has a really pleasing colour palette too.

Overall, this is a standout bird-in-flight-shot.

1. Great mood - you can almost hear the urgent chatter from here.

2. Signature glowing monotones - I wonder if I will finally be able to replicate this now that I have a body without an AA filter?

3. Beautifully composed image.

Overall, I'm continually mystified as to how you get these shots John - do you have the power of invisibility?

1. Great styling, outstanding makeup and hair.

2. Really effective lighting too; really well controlled.

3. Effective spooky mood.

4. Wonderful compelling eyes - with just enough illumination.

Overall, I'd have liked it as much without the snake but I can see how it is part of the overall look. Imaginative and well constructed shot.

1. Pristine image. Focus and clarity are startling.

2. Really interesting lighting. Five sources? The four with gels and a kick light? The combination is likely shooting under UV!

3. Purposeful pose and great physique.

4. Compelling, commercial look.

Highly capable work.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. 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. Gorgeous colours, gorgeous light.

2. This feels dark and light at the same time - it has a twilight feel that I enjoy.

3. Bold letterbox aspect ratio works well - hard at 800px but you've made a good choice.

4. I love how it is a landscape with no sky.

5. Often landscapes with prominent foliage appear 'crunchy' - not here, it has a glow about it instead.

Overall, compelling work.
