Gorgeous photo! I love the tail effect giving a tremendous feeling of impatience and the line of the ground. Never been to such a show and enjoyed thoroughly all 4 pics!

Good title. It's more like roping my way ... The color confuses me; too much like soil. As they say, this has more potential. I very much appreciate the humor though and hoped for fresh ideas.

Lupercus the Shepherd.

What a relief after hearts and chocolates! I quite like them, but at DPC I long for a different approach than the cards one might get at Hallmark. Now, on the subject at hand: Lupercalia was a festival observed in Feb. - a sort of cleansing ritual. Lupercus is god Pan - oh yes, still celebrated in Feb. So you beat around the Valentine's bush! Clever. I would change the head of the shepherd though.

Let me try this one!

To me the border turns the photo into a greeting card diminishing its qualities

Hope that it was taken in Venice. Has this sad carnival feeling. I would have reduced it slightly and slide it to the left a bit to bring the figure's right eye more in line with the vertical third. Splitting hair! 8
