This is going to be the most awesome self-portrait ever...

Nice work! The background would obviously have made a great landscape; the colors are great, the skyline is sharp, and the sky is a nice smooth gradient. Contrast that with the rumpled, blurry, half-off-the-screen dude on the left and you have a glorious juxtaposition. It's funny in the first place, and you get +2 for the title. I'd like to see this in the top 10, but I'm not sure that DPC as a whole shares our sense of humor.

Very cool. One of my favorites so far.

... back to add that it IS my favorite from this challenge, it's GOING in my favorites, and I would be delighted to see this on the upper left of the front page.

If this isn't ursula, I think she'd be proud to call this her own. Great work.

I like this photo except for the boy's expression. He seems to be saying, "Why the heck are you still looking at me?" -- It somewhat sours the otherwise idyllic mode of the image.

Holy crap! 81st? Grossly underappreciated! DPC, where's your sense of humor?! And appreciation for nifty camera tricks?! Bah.

JPR, just noticed this was yours. You got a 7 during voting from me. This should have placed higher.

I didn't realize you'd been playing along during DPL--I'm glad you're back. I hope you'll keep submitting once the league ends.

Gave this a 7 during voting. I don't know why it didn't score better! The tones are great, the colors are good, and the models' expressions and poses are interesting. The only real criticism I have is the noise, but that doesn't seem to explain the 5.8.

Excellent lighting, concept, and execution. Bumping up.
