Technically this is simply excellent, a real tour-de-force. It's also a very amusing take on a universally recognized battlefield of the war between the sexes, so it's not surprise you got a high finish. In fact, I had it in my personal top 3. Good job!

Way to go, captain! You just better hope this depiction of the primitive nature of men doesn't cause a backlash against your leadership in Team 20D :-)

Marac, this image has it all. It succeeds at a level far beyond the usual DPC "look", conveying its message with incredible intensity. You've transcended the challenge and created "art" using the theme as a springboard. For what it's worth, I have no quarrel with the double-exposure issue; I'm well aware of how much work went into making this one work :-)

Excellent job on your first ribbon! Nothing ambiguous about this in-your-face take on the challenge :-)

Very nice one, Linda. The kicked-up spray of snow is the grace note that makes the image sing.

This is an extraordinary happening :-) Really good eye at work here! Congrats on top-10, and highest ranked non-matchstick entry.

What a face... The challenge description specifically does NOT include fish and insects, I think to avoid being swamped with aquarium and macro shots, but this is clearly shot in the wild, and I hope you get away with it. It's an eerie, eerie image with the almost-human face, and the title does it justice. Good luck!

ETA: not so clearly shot in the wild, more probably shot in a major salt-water aquarium like Monterey Bay or Boston: my point was more, "not a home aquarium"...

Very nice. The way the face in the BG slowly swims up is sweet.

Love the title. I've always been fascinated by Hughes' monster airplane :-)
