Nicely done high key effect! Not sure about the crop so much. The black bondage thing is a nice contrast against the white.

Radial blur? In camera or post processing? Don't care for the effect personally, but would like to know how it was done...

A little small, but nicely done! Like how he's leaning out of the frame, and the river takes you the same way with the subtle tilt!

I knew that this shot would be rediculously underrated, but this is horrible. You should have been at least in the top 10 percent, not way down here near the basement. Please keep up the good work and don't let this first entry get ya down. Like I said below, soft focus is NOT appreciated here like it should be. If you look at any fine art b/w magazines or shows, you'll see shots like this all the time. DPC, as fine a site as it is does NOT represent the world of fine photography...
Yours (hopefully for some time)

Congrats on the first ribbon! Missed my guess at placement by one place! :-| Figured this was the winner by far!

This one is the best! Off setting subjects against the background of one of the better sunsets that I've seen in a while works wonderfully!

OK You got me. This is the first shot in (IMHO) a very dull set of challenge shots that made me stop and say 'wow'. Great depth, great tonality. Love the mist and leading lines (path into the distance) and the simplicity of the shot. Without hitting us in the head with the challenge theme, you hit the challenge theme right on the head!

Skipping School at the Diner

Awesome shot. Awesome depth, awesome b/w treatment, awesome exposure of chrome and other shiny metals without obnoxious hot spots. Doesn't meet the challenge except for the title though...

I like the soft effect that you have achieved here! I'm sorry your getting bad scores/comments because of it. Most here don't get it. I know, I've tried...
