Endearingly vintage, the central figure is perfect. Brings back memories. A 9 from me, commenting only right now.

Love the Broncos cap. I betcha this is a ribbon, even if it IS the first one in my queue. I'll give it a 10, with the proviso that if the challenge is FULL of quality images you might end up being demoted to a 9, OK? But I doubt it :-)

ETA: Your 10 is safe :-)

ETA: You've been joined by another 10, rare for me. YOU are the most imaginative entry in the challenge hands-down, however :-) I want to give you my rarely-awarded Golden Paw:

Have you moved to CA permanently or what, Spiffy? That's my old stomping grounds right there, I lived just a few blocks up-and-over for a LONG time :-)

Dogwood Berries In September
by JunieMoon

Comment:
The way the partial color effect treated the dark nose of the nearest berry absolutely killed this image. See how it bleeds off into the background and is unnaturally crisp in the transition from dark to red? Looks like a botched selection job in PS, and I bet a LOT of people assumed this was an edited image and voted accordingly (even though they're not supposed to). But either way, whether by you or by the camera, it's a glaringly bad editing job and that killed you. It would be nice to see how this looked without that filter applied in-camera if you have any frames from the same set-up where you did it au naturele...
