I think the one you chose was the one for a DPChallenge entry, that's for sure - the blue was magnificent in that one. But I really do rather like this one quite a bit. I like the fact there's more textrue to the building itself, more light and definition on the stairs, and the shadow of the bird really makes the shot. In other words, you picked the right one for the challenge, but I like this one better.

I gave this a 10 and really do think it should have ribboned.

This was one of three 10s I gave in this challenge. Shadows are very well integrated into the feel of the whole picture. Without them, it wouldn't be the same. Lower finish that I'd have expected but this is a very powerful picture.

I really like this - and I realize that this comment isn't particularly useful.

The shadow is well-integrated into the picture. Nicely composed.
