Bummer about the DQ. Nice shot! ON a lighter note, I see we both used the same source for our titling in our shots (mine from a few weeks ago):

I kinda thought this might be yours. This seems to be the week for awarding ribbons to people-bear-has-met, LOL. Very nice, Joe.

Woo Hoo, Juleit got a BLUE! See, the ability to do fractions is wildly overrated in today's world :-)

Oh, wow. Amazing how similar we came out, considering yours is nothing BUT post-its, LOL. I gave this a 6 actually.

Whoa, what a hell of an image. Somehow I missed this one. Love the way the columnar nature of the upper half of the composition devolves into an intricate tracery that mirrors the random quality of the markings on the ice. (wink)

In my case, it was the New York Studio School. If you have no clue what I'm referring to, revisit the comments on my Post-It image :-)

Now, THAT's a hell of a comment. Where did you study design, assuming you did?

"This exagurated (sp?) the lighting conditions and I pushed it a little more (to get bear music's raking light. :))"

That'd be "exaggerated"... Not usre what you mean by "pushed it a little more" to get *my* raking light. The light is either raking or it isn't. In this case it is. If you mean you processed to *emphasize" the raking quality of the light, that makes sense. Nice shot btw. I never got back to it before, so this way out-of-the-blue comment comes your way...

Helluva Image dude.

"An apple serves as well as any skull
to be the book in which to read a round,
and is as excellent, in that it is composed
of what, like skulls, comes rotting back to ground.

But it excels in this, that as the fruit
of love, it is a book too mad to read
before one merely reads to pass the time..."

— Wallace Stevens

From memory, so I may not have it exactly right)

Weird: no 1's, no 2's, no 3's, and only seven 4's — and 6.4 is the best it can get? I think I am starting to redefine the term "good enough" LOL...

And what's with a top-10 image with NO post-challenge comments after more than 48 hrs?
