Lovely shot, deserving of the accolade and then some...

Serious blurred waterfalls only need apply. They stone you if you do and they stone you if you don't.

Lovely picture/sylvan ambience, etc...

That's a beaut. I don't think I saw it before the OOBIE awards ceremony. Maybe it would have gone over my head. Isn't that the best thing that can happen with terrorist attacks? The further over your head the better. Maybe that's a bad joke.

In any case, this is a superb bit of camera satire.

Beautiful photograph, beautiful portrait, beautiful cat. Criminally under-rated and now I'm ging to add insult to injury by not giving it my OOBIE vote. At least you get to keep the cat and/or the picture :-)

I'd go as far as to say that it's silly, but a great idea and very well done. Thanks for adding spice to the bespectacled portrait experience.

Do you smell something?

I wonder if I should feel guilty that I didn't give this my OOBIE vote, as it is probably the most out of box (out of mind?) entry. My heart lay elsewhere. This is a great idea and brilliantly done - heh. I can all but smell it...

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám as adapted by Edward Fitzgerald

This probably gets my OOBIE vote because I'm such a sucker (sic) for all the essence-of-clown that infuses the picture. The grain, the lack of uprightness and/or direction, the unicycle that isn't - there's a mood of melancholy tedium which, of itself, is antithesis to photography in general let alone dpc, but it's so up front and total with the emotion that it does it just as the classic clown does it. And if none of that was within a mile of your thoughts or intentions then hey, you got lucky, so make with a big clown smile.

Damn! Not only do you branch out and take over the brown ribbon industry, you rap out two superbly sensitive shots while you do it. This gives you licence to put on your Pierrot Lunaire costume and sit in the corner with steams of fake tears gushing out of your eyes.
Without having trawled through all the entries, the expected thing would be the obvious clown icon thing - several steps and a ten foot pole removed from the essence of clownerism, i.e. naked emotional naïveté.
Now tell me I can't talk out of my (epithet removed due to orthographic inconsistency).
