Expresses freedom or is escape. Or is escape and freedom similar. Very nice capture.

Very nice. My original thought for this challenge was to find a torn down fence. Well, the addition of the sky adds a lot.

When words fail...

While this picture has no words, its title creates a much more powerful message than all the other entries with words. Yes, there were rules to include words but have you not had misunderstandings were too many words were spoken?
And where there are words, could we also have implied words spoken? So while this picture violates the spirit of the challenge, the sheer strenght of its message is a tender feeling known to us all. To those who have dismissed it for its lack of words, look again and see what is being implied. ...9

This is a nice study but the lips should have been closed to complete its ecstatic mystique. yet it remains a strong image. I would have lowered the right thigh just a bit to remove its projectile look. Despite all of this it remains the best picture of the challenge.

Ah yes, freedom is subtly implied. Of course, if you ever sailed, then you are at home with this image.

Father & Son

From the critique club:
This is much more than the typical silhoutte shot. The detail on the left of the shallow water adds a good sense of depth to the perpective.
The outline on the canoe gently leads the eye to the figures. Now, the canoe and the definition in the foreground help the eyes take rescue from the razor sharp sun.
The universal subject of Father and son is implied and here is where this soars as a captivating image. This is a complete image and there is no fault I can find that is worth mentioning.
Some may ask for more eye relief from the sun, but these scenes emanate this magical look because of the high contrast and the foreground is the comfort for the eye.
My first impulse was to suggest just a higher vantage point so as to clear the father's head, but then we create a separation. This would then isolate the figures.
As I look at the image I smile, because there is nothing I can suggest to improve this image. My suggestion is to make a good print and hang it much like you would a fine work of art. Congratulations and the DPC village will look forward to seeing more of your fine images.

This is a superb idea. So good, I would have chosen the clock more wisely. The crumple face takes away. Good imagination.
