Nice one! You got an 8 from me for this photo. The shallow DOF really makes it.

This was DQ'd? Seriously?

Can you post your editing steps and whatnot? I'd really like to see what this came from so I know exactly how silly to think the SC as a whole was for making this DQ.

Gave you a 7 on this one... it's better than its score would suggest. More even lighting might have helped you, but even so, you deserved better than 5.7x.

Beautiful capture! And a bold take on the challenge.

In the light

Another very fine piece of work from you. I'm always impressed by your individual images as they go by, as well as your consistently high level of performance.

What struck me most about this photo during voting was the shape of the light on the background. How did you do that? I'm guessing some kind of custom hood for a strobe, but it's only a guess. I hope I'm not asking a magician to tell me how she does her tricks... :)

Sub-6? You were robbed! I gave this an 8.

This is nicely shot and composed and an interesting twist on the classic floral still life. The flowers being dead are a very effective memento mori!

Interesting... when I saw the thumbnail in the posthumous thread, I had guessed that the title would be "Over the Rainbow."

The kid is definitely cute, but with that editing, I'm afraid she's about to zap me with laser vision!
