If Fences Could Be Bridges

Cool cool cool shot and one of my absolute favourites in the challenge.

I love the fact that when you first see the image it really does look like you have captured a car framed through a hole in a fence and it is only when you look at it more closely you realise it is a toy

Brillant sharpness and great bokeh in one, lovely black and white conversion.

An image that I cant tear my eyes away from

Wonderful and although you have scored higher in many challenges imo this is one of your best shots.

Added to favourites

Kelly!!!!!!

welcome back to the wonderful world of DPC Voters...Did ya miss the people who give 4's and belows to pictures to make themselves feel superior!!!

I like the slightly skewed angle that you used on the fence here as it creates a really cool leading diagonal line

Nice dof as well which allows people to see so of the lovely metalwork even better

Wow, what a super image and thank you not onlt for it but for the description of how the water was suspended (which now I know seems obvious, but didnt before hand)

I love the dof you used which creates a seamless move from pinpoint sharpness to gentle blur

Cool idea fantastically executed

What a great picture and I am stunned it scored so low (especially when I see some of the ones that beat it)

You have pulled off a great trick here, not only about the moment in time that you have caught which is priceless, but also by the fact that you have combined a really strong sharpness in the shot (look at the mothers tongue) whilst still keeping the softness of the fur (especially on the kitten which I just want to reach out and touch)

Wonderful

The face on my face when for the second week running I lead you in scores all week yet awake on a Monday to find that you have beaten me in a challenge....PRICELESS

A Pilot's Moment of Reflection

Very nice portrait and the capture of the jet in the sunglasses is a n excellent touch which really enhances it in terms of the challenge. Not 100% sure of the B&W conversion which seems a little soft for the subject matter and which perhaps lacks a touch of pop

Still a good image - 7

Nice traditional boxing pose which no doubt the subject will love. The Ali poster adds a very nice touch. the ring ropes are a lot more subtle (in fact I wonder whether every one will see them) but again serve to add to the environment. Strong BW conversion - 8

Wooooah. A photo that just stops you in your tracks, great use of fish eye to create a really interesting portrait. Outstanding sharpness and nice splash of colour as well

If I am being picky perhaps I would have liked to either see more tools of the trade or him to have more paint splashes, but still an excellent 8 (for the moment I may be back to bump up)

Ooooooo...Great take on the challenge, brilliant composition and fantastic colours...unfortunately (imo) the focus seems just a touch soft (a bit tighter and I think it would have been the blue ribbon winner)

Still a very strong image congratulations

Interestingly even as a Brit my first temptation was to think 'oh no not another shot of the democratic candidate...seen him a million times' but then when you stop to think about it this is a phenomenal photo for DPC. Outstanding sharpness and proximity, great colours and without a shadow of a doubt meets the challenge as well as any other photo. I hope you dont suffer from voter fatigue (political rather than DPC). An out and out 10 from me

Remarkable
