so you did eventually ribbon with a B&W! very nice shot. I am less a fan of the intense head light on the right of the guy though.

I think this is definitely underrated. However, I whish there had been a bit more editing around contrast/highlights (face) etc. and I would have preferred the #3 outtake, with the open umbrella, a bit more dynamic/fun.
But in any case an underrated, original composition. the opposition between the clothes colors, the background, the head, is really nice.

hum I like the moody feel and the composition, but I agree that for my personnal taste the post-processing is too strong. I would be intrested to see the same photo without the post-processing.

Well as they say around here, the voters are kings. But as we do here in France, a good revolution to change kings from time to time is good too ;). This score is a shame! Like the excellent shot by tuborg ranked very low, it is really disapointing to see so low a reward is given to more original interpretations of the subject.

Keep up the good work and original approach. This was a great shot!

same comment for the other man/woman-and-bonzai picture, from larus, ranked even lower...

Very nice light and color. The tree really pops out of the muted background. Very well mastered and composed. Clearly one of the best shots in the challenge IMHO.
