This was definitely the standout entry in this challenge. It is so realistic and believable as a film noir. We all agree that those low votes are irritating and malicious. If someone feels that strongly they should have the courage to stick up for their opinion and write a critique to explain their reasoning. They owe the artist at least that.

Everything's IN the Kitchen Sink...

That sock goes perfectly with your red sneakers! I hope that is not your toothbrush. I�m glad there was someone else in this challenge that considered a sink to be a bowl. Great minds think alike!

Congratulations on your first entry in DPC. I hope you will find this experience both fun and an opportunity to learn. Please accept my opinion as only that. There are many minds on this website who see things very differently so take the comments and criticisms only as an opportunity to grow and see how others perceive your work. Overall I like your composition. It is well arranged, colorful and satisfies all the elements of the challenge. I feel though that you have some unnecessary elements included which make the picture feel cluttered. I personally would like to see the background in better focus as they are also important in the composition. Finally, help to define your image with a title. It helps the viewer to understand your purpose. I look forward to seeing more of your entries:)

Well done Henk. I like that you chose to use B&W. It helps to define the elements of the challenge without making any element more important than the rest.

Synonym for bowl is �basin� . That is a �sink bowl� or �sink basin�! It appears that several voters did not feel that was acceptable. I knew there would be those who wouldn�t see it that way but I chose to do it anyway.
