The Winter of our discontent

Thought I'd comment here instead of your thread. I gave this an 8 (the highest score I gave in this challenge.) I liked the image and your processing. I felt it fit the challenge, felt like it represented "in the rain." The blur works well in this image in that it left me to imagine what was going on, it allows me to develop a story for the image. This compared to Blue Monday, I probably would have scored Blue Monday higher because I would have associated the blue tone with cold, as is the rain... Overall, this is a great image.

Personally, I don't judge an image based on if it was processed to the fullest extent of the rule set (expert editing). I vote on how it resonates with me...

Images resonate with some people, they don't with others. In the bell curve, more people liked this image than those that didn't like it so much... So it's a winner :)

Nicely done. Great way to incorporate some "action" in this challenge. In the top ten, contender for a ribbon. Stands out among the entries.

Really like the composition and the DOF to accentuate the empty seat. Had this picked for a ribbon. Well done.

One of the more interesting and usual images. Thanks for the info on how it was done. I kept thinking a psych ward... certainly it came across to me as "empty". Nice work.
