Very funny, I guess you shouldn't always follow the rules or you might end up on your ass :)

I gave this a 7 which is more then the score I gave the Blue and Yellow ribbon winners.
I thought it nailed the challenge perfectly it reminded me of a Bangkok backstreet only cleaner. Just looking at this image brings back the aroma of the street food.

Edit: The red ribbon was the best score I gave in this challenge. I was disappointed in the overall standard of the entries and it was one of the lowest scoring challenges given out by me.

Although this is a very good photo on technique I find that this type of cigar chomping character has been done here before and unfortunately it̢۪s not that amusing or even endearing to me anymore. Originality always scores higher from me.

You have a lot of guts :) entering this image as I̢۪m sure you are aware a lot of members will not see eye to eye with this one :)

A lot of people here only like pretty pictures.

Its an interesting shot very confronting and if you achieve as much reaction as I think this will then congratulations you will have people talking about your picture.

I̢۪m sure you have received a lot of comments; I̢۪m very interested to read those comments post challenge.

Ok so now I understand

Here with a Loaf of bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
translated by Edward Fitzgerald

I now need to think about it for bit.
