Either I need some serious calibration of my monitor or the background on this photo is anything but white.

Free spirit

I see no reference whatsover to the 70's in this photo. The jeans, replete with holes were more an 80's thing,,,

Having had the good fortune of enjoying the 70's, the title utilized in this instance is not in keeping with the "Free Spirits" I had the pleasure to encounter during that time frame.

Not a bad photo, but from my perspective, did not meet the challenge.

This is a very poweful statement to those of us old enough to remember the sacrifices made by our brothers... but it may be lost on several DPC members. I really do like this and it is to date my favorite. I am certain I will be back to upgrade the score once I have completed viewing all the submissions.

I really do believe you were seriously underated in this competition. I won't tell you it was my favorite, but I did nonetheless like it enough to give it an 8. Good luck to you in your future endeavours.

While I do believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion... the drivel spewed by this voter is mindless and serves no useful purpose.

In addition, when one considers the name used by this voter... one can get a full appreciation of exactly the type of person we are dealing with in this instance.

It certainly would be a sad state of affairs, if a person such a Bear_Music, left this forum due to such a mindless attack on his submission.

You may not always agree with some of the submissions made, but that does not give one licence to demean the creator of the photographs.

Suits You Sir

I truly did enjoy this photo. I is subtle, basic and yet is very alluring. I almost expect Sherlock Holmes to come strolling down some dark and foggy lane, looking for clues.

This is one of my favorites and I gave it a 9... Keep up the good work, and good luck to you in the challenge.

That is truly sad. I am one of those who voted this photo highly as I felt it met the requirements of the challenge and was a great photo. I did read a threat about the date automatically changing and immediately checked mine. It is indeed sad that you were DQ for this reason.

Best of luck in the future.

This is one awesome shot, probably the best I have seen to date. This is definitely going into my "come back to this shot group" . Love it. Yes indeed I did come back and boosted this one to a 9.... Great work.
