Wow... I didn't notice that this one was yours. I'm thankful you didn't get nailed with the DNMC challenge votes too badly, as this was pretty clearly the most striking image in the challenge - where was it taken?

A fantastic effort - here's to team pentax!

Extraction Of An Abstraction

Initially seeing this in the thumbnail it's hard to see how it meets the challenge. But on viewing the full size image the shot's abstract qualities do become apparent. The focus and lighting are spot on. While perhaps not my favourite in the challenge, this is, in my opinion, the best of the three ribbon winners by quite a ways. Congratulations on a great effort.

Wow.... talk about patience paying off. Good to see that even dpc's eye-candy loving voters couldn't reduce this to a 5.8.

These ice shots can be hard to do effectively - so a nice attempt here. I like the way you have arranged the fruit. Perhaps the lighting is a bit flat/the colours not quite vibrant enough for this to do spectacularly, but overall I think it's quite an effective shot. I gave your shot a six.

This is a creative image. I like the lighting and the textured backdrop/foreground. I'm not really sold on the border - but I'm sure you've heard that before.

Very creative. Possibly not what I think of when I think abstract, but that might just be me, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Nice even lighting. Great title.

Interesting shot - creative to be sure. However, I do have a little trouble viewing it as an abstract. 6
