I like the way this one came out, without too much "stuff" near the top.

I like the design ... I'd probably play with the contrast a bit to brighten it, but that's just me.

Boots from a Snowstorm

You will find that the typical DPC voter is not fond of the technique of reducing the number of colors/shades to two or three (called Posterization), though it is a common processing technique (there's even a separate command for it in Photoshop) used, especially in advertising, to give a photo the look of an illustration.

I think the effect works well for your subject, isolating the three compositional elements (bare floor, snowdrift, and boots) beautifully.

I applaud you for submitting what you liked regardless of the possible consequences in terms of votes. I think you will have more fun if you continue to do so.

Has that "Impressionistic painting" feel to it (even more so in the thumbnail view!) -- glad at least a few people appreciate it!

Very nice -- great colors and focus/sharpness. I got a few decent aquarium shots a couple of years ago, none better than this ...

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been as steady getting this shot with "only" a 200mm lens ... nice work!

Nice -- I like how dark you were able to get the bottom part.

I see the relationship to the movie (which I saw in a college film class), but shouldn't it be in shades of gray? ;-)

Well-done ... I had thought of using pomme de terre as the Earth element (but I ended up not submitting at all); glad to see someone had the guts to do so!
