What can I say except that this image is stunning! Well done, and you didn't get beat by the Aurora! LOL

All I can say is that Iceland has got to be one of the most photogenic places on earth! I must visit one day for a long long stay to take as many photos as possible. That and there are some damn fine photographers that are "grown" there. Must be all that midnight sun in the summer and extensive night in the winter! LOL. Anyway this is an extremely creative and wonderfully executed image! Well done and congrats on winning the yellow ribbon!

OK now that I have read your notes (very well written by the way!) I get what you were trying to do with this shot. The thing about photography is that the image has to stand on its own to tell the story. You put a lot of thought into your image, but it just didn't get translated through to what the voters could see. For this challenge, actually photographing money would have worked. The lyrics of the song "Money" would have made the statement you were looking for. It is a complex web we weave with the challenges and our images. As I mentioned in my previous comment, as an impressionistic image this was a good photo, it just didn't work for this specific challenge. Keep working at your art, and I know since you put so much thought into your images I will eventually see you on the front page of DPC!

I like the subject of the photo and it works well for the challenge, unfortunately the image looks overexposed to me. 5

This photo looks kind of hazy and not as sharp as I would expect.

Goodbye Blue Sky

Not the most appealing subject in the challenge. This image in black and white makes it difficult to understand what you are looking at. Where does the wall end and the stairs start? I don't think it will do that well, so better luck next time, but keep trying.

For all the different brick wall images in this challenge, this one is quite interesting. Unfortunately it looks blown out to me and overexposed.

I personally don't care for "negative" images, they don't score well with me because you lose so much of the detail of the image. I know people like them, so it is my personal preferance.

Another Brick in the Wall ...

The lock or metal object in the frame is distracting and the soft focus on the edge of the image is not working in my opinion.
