Hi. Just coming back around to drop in and mention that I really enjoyed this image and gave it one of my higher scores for this challenge. The light is just gorgeous and the bird looks like a beacon watching over his/her neighborhood. Nicely seen and captured!

Hi. I didn't comment on this during the challenge, but I feel the content of the image is inappropriate in that it shows the childs genitals. Yes, I know there's the whole innocence of children thing and all, but in this day and age I don't feel this belongs on DPC.

I like this. Although I think I would have gone total abstract and cropped it just before the shoreline and only shown the reflection.

Yay! I like this one. Hope you get the Blue! Nice choice of sepia tone.

Hi Ryan. Your title puts the viewer in an immediate state of mind of mournfulness and despair. The image reflects the title in that it does look cold, quiet, and somewhat lonely. I have to wonder a bit about the timing of the photo; sometimes with a cloud layer like that the sun will grace the viewer with a wonderful underside illumination. I'm assuming that moment either never appeared or was missed. I hope things look up for you soon and that the flowers spring forth and break thru that layer of snow.

How did I know this was yours? In the forum thread discussing the challenge you mentioned being the 4th entry in the challenge. Each photo has an image id ... this one is 1246986, which if I counted correctly, makes it the 4th entry. :-)

bona fide

bona fide indeed! I had this as one of my top picks as I felt it met the challenge head on with a wonderful silhouette. Great contrast! Wonder how this would have done if the top of the image had been removed, down to just above the walk signal? Anyway ... nicely seen and captured.

The Background is just a texture but who knows- it was fun to do and i like the shot. The feathers actually looked like that - it's not the texture. I checked back on the original photo. Thanks for your comments.

Interesting. If the background is a "texture" then wouldn't it be applied to the entire image? I'm still unclear on how the whole texture stuff (rules) apply.
