This is absolutely wonderful. I like the mixture of the snow and sunny sky, it gives the picture great depth. The tonal range captured is excellent with great preservation of details. The shadows are excellent leading lines and the subject of the boat is wonderful.

I like how this goes against the grain with definite highs and lows with the Black and White approach, I like it. I think what may have hurt is the fence and lack of definitive subject.

I think composition here is pretty good, though I would have to agree with the busy background, though it could be much worse. I think there are a few things that hurt the shot however. First, there appears to be an overall yellowish cast that doesn't play nice with skin tones. Second, the lighting feels kind of flat to me and doesn't give much depth. And lastly, it's focus is just slightly off enough to take away from the clarity aspect of the shot. Overall you did very nicely and captured the girl wonderfully. You're on the right track, it's just a matter of the details of the technical aspect that would make the difference with this shot.

That is why I believe it scored the way it did. Hope that helps and keep shooting!

Way to go Don. I love how you are not afraid to go against the DPC crowd's perception. I really like the effect the longer exposure had here. The sharp little trails are neat. Well done.

Congrats on the Brown Peter! I speaks to me as post New Years Eve party, after the fireworks are gone. It was probably too ambiguous for the general DPC crowd, well done!

This is one of the best shots I have seen on DPC in the fivish years I have been hear. Absolutely fantastic and original. You should feel very proud of this.
