Well, Jon - though my Double Take entry was SO BAD - yours was WORSE! :op

I win again! lalala....

But seriously (sic!) I do like this entry and am astonished that it came in so low. I think you're right in saying that people weren't SEEING what it was - though when you read the title, it's pretty obvious. Oh well - onward to the next challenge - hopefully better for both of us.

Cheers, Alicia

So sorry for the DQ. Regardless, you created a beautiful image that shines way beyond DPC rules. Thanks for sharing it with us.

In a themed challenge this would have scored a lot higher, I bet. No northern light, big cat or sky for free study - hey. That said - this is an awesome shot. Love the contrasts and the composition - very wonderful.

Regarding candids... I just shoot without shame and so far nobody has protested. The only time I was yelled at was when I took photos of a truck. So try it. Also, if you point your camera at people for a while, they lose interest and start going about their business - et voila! A candid!

Wildly underrated, Roz!!! The flames are beautifully captured. The impish face behind the smoke is awesome. Stupid voters. Interestingly, the commenters voted this photo very high - huge difference to the final outcome.

Can it be, since you have these outtakes in your workshop, that they are not showing up in our favorites? At least not in mine. Perhaps you could put these awesome shots in your accessible portfolio - pleeeeeze?

Man! Where is this? Did you mention it - I'll have to look. I want to go live in front of that window.

My god! These are awesome!! Congrats on the ribbon - but the outtakes are to die for, too. I'm a big cat fan and a fan of big cats - these photos make me drool.

This just cracks me UP! It's like she's posing as a stuffed animal with the same blank stare as they button eyed ones. You could have also called it "camouflage". Very creative!!
