This image really speaks to me. Specifically, it's saying: "Huh?"

I can't say I understand the relation to the challenge. Nice shot, though.

Yeesh... reading through the comments here, you'd swear that you took a shot of yourself flogging an elderly woman or something.

Congrats on posting a great shot, and having a bit of courage to endure the wrath of the voters here. I think it's rather hypocritical of ANYONE here to bash you for trying to replicate the original shot. After all, aren't we all trying to learn new things from DPC? Nobody else here learns new techniques from the site and tries to learn from them? Gimme a break.

It's not as if you can pull off this kind of shot in 30-seconds or anything, either. A lot of thought and preparation went into it, I'm sure, and I would bet that you have a few dozen shots of outtakes to boot.

Anyway... I gave it a 9, personally. And I think it's shameful that your effort is being condemned rather than applauded. There's nothing wrong with trying to learn a little something around here, and you demonstrated that you can do just that.

I'm soooo tired of seeing football shots shoe-horned into challenges around here... oh... wait a minute... let me re-think that :) Very nice job! I'm very familiar with the "shoot and get the heck out of the way" technique! :)

Waiter, there's a bug on my plate!

Very, very nice! This looks very Scalvert-esque to me!

Spoons

A great idea, and I like the composition a lot. I would have gotten the focus sharper on the contents of the spoons... it looks like the focal point was an inch or so closer to the camera.

Clever idea, but really hard to see what's going on.

Wonder if we crossed paths during our visits here! I shot my November Free Study shot just a few steps away :)

Not sure what the reflection adds to this...

Perhaps just a "tad" overprocessed...? Or maybe a LOT overprocessed? :)
