Congratulations Lev. You did deserve to win the blue. I like your hat; I have one just like it.

Well, look at that: 78/160 ... you're in the top half of the field!

Keep that up, take careful note of all the compositional and cropping advice, and pretty soon you could get really good at this photography stuff.

Oh yes. Deceptively simple, so hard to do right, and good to the last drop. Like beer (with a dash of Trent Parke).

This reminds me of that boy-sets-fire guy. Still rockin' Nick.

Fizzzzzzzzzzzz! It fizzzzes, Rachel. Electrically, emotionally, intellectually lovely. I'm in one of my regular DPC hiatus phases so I didn't vote nor even look, but given that I think that DPC scores are pretty conclusively antithetical anyway I can say that I really admire this picture. It was one of the two most interesting and demanding entries, without any question. I'm not too sure who Karen is, but I'll bet she agrees with me as well.

"If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
..........
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change."

- Lynyrd Skynyrd, Freebird

Thank you.

Henry, I love photographs that are about nothing at all. That celebrate neither the photographer nor the subject, and yet perversely find a way to wriggle into one's consciousness like some malevolent virus that lies dormant and then flares up and leaves a nasty cold sore on the surface of the brain. If you scratch it, it only gets worse. And yet you can't not scratch it; the itch is irresistible, and the sense of relief and deliverance when you do is wonderful. This is one of those. Thank you.

You bastard. I've always been so comfortable in my sneering disdain for Morris Dancers. Now you have ruined it by making their incomprehensible cavorting beautiful. Thanks very much, CPN! You bastard.

My top pick in this challenge. It's fairly easy to take a decent seashore picture, but it's surprisingly difficult to take a really good one. This is a really good one, in the class of Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert's glorious Rivages series. Beautiful work. 10. Thank you.
