They Were my Brothers

I really do like this!

Seriously, I do. I just bought a Pentax M 28mm f/3.5 & was just researching pics taken with some of its brethren. I've looked at your photos before, being a fellow Pentax nut (sorry about the assumption if it is off the mark), but somehow never saw this one. It is very evocative & shows great storytelling & personification - that is to say:

THIS IS THE BEST EVAR!

MUWAHAHAHAHAH ;)

Water - Tapping the Life Source

Wow - this was yours? No offense, but I thought it really stunk & gave it a 2. I would have never dreamed it was yours - so many of your images have forethought & heart to them & this one doesn't belong there at all - you must have been desperate!

Originally posted by Artyste: I hate DPL... what, oh what, made me want to be in it.

You know, I really feel like I choked at the start of this DPL thing, too - so you're not alone. It reminds me of when I first found DPC last fall & made the vow to enter every week no matter what - except now I feel like I doubled that load, ffs...

Anyway, what would I have done different? I remember distinctly thinking, "Why didn't the shooter try a long exposure on this one?" when I was voting. Which led me to think of doing a parody of the classic waterfall-long-exposure shot, except with dishes, bowls & cups. Hmmmm... nah!

Oh, you can count me out of *that* happy fluffy bunny party, too! ;~> Sorry I didn't add the above comment while voting, but with these 300+, 400+, 600+ entry challenges, its all I can do to just get through them to begin with. This DPL thing is making things rough 'round here, but maybe it is for the better in the end? Darwinism in this small world of DPC?

Good luck!

Bravo, Hannah!

This was one of my favs from the challenge - I'm glad it finished well, but it should have hit the top 5, IMHO...

Your lighting and composition was fantastic & your pp just fantastic!

Oh, very nice! Lotsa waterfall pics in this challenge, but this one has excellent tonal balance & a great disbursement of focal subjects. The fern could have used a wee bit of dodging, but that's a minor criticism.

Good luck!
