Ooh, very nice! How did you not score higher? (Not that 35th is poor.) I really like this.

Scrolling through the challenge results, this one really made me stop and look. Completely baffling. I thought it was water reflecting the trees until I noticed the symmetrical "bubbles." Then I saw the scratches and thought those were an overlay. Finally upon reading your comments the image makes sense. Lovely treatment. A really unique and beautiful abstract.

Pvt Pyle, What is your major malfunction.

Seems like solid photojournalism to me! I like the posture of the drill instructor. Do I spot a woman soldier in the front row?

Don't worry about the low votes -- it's a losing battle trying to figure those out.

Really excellent shot, I love the point of view.

Is a firefighter really military in Paris? I think you might have made top ten if you had left the word "firefighter" out of your title!

Yay, Lydia! Looks like a young freedom fighter. Love the silhouette and the colors (though you're right, that boot does draw the eye!). :-)

Amazing traditional garb, well captured. Congrats on your ribbon -- a red one to go with their outfits!
