wow... very harsh processing here... lovely image and the sky is amazing, but the colors and sharpness kills it, IMO (you're the artist!)

Love the foreground, but the cityscape distracts for me...

Nice job and processing. Wonderful (?) expressions captured

Fits the theme nicely and I like the spotlight effect. I think losing more of the negative space below would make it stronger, but I'm not the artist! :) Nice job.

There was only Criticism, nothing at all constructive. You stated as fact an opinion that was disproven, that's all.

Had you said... "I voted this a 1 because I feel it wasn't difficult to achieve" (which should not really be a factor), that would have gone a lot farther than coming along after the challenge was over and opining incorrectly.

Degree difficulty very low.

eta: not that the ease of this shot (sitting on your behind with a long lens and waiting) should have anything at all to do with the score.

Wow... glad you were there to know this.

1. Camera mounted to tripod ballhead.
2. Ballhead mounted on Monopod.
3. 8mm Fisheye Lens attached.
4. Wife driving car at normal speed as we take our dogs to park.
5. Set timer mode.
6. Press shutter.
7. Photographer risking his camera extending the whole thing out the window, away from the car, fighting wind resistance.
8. Repeating several times and angles to get a good shot that didn't show camera and monopod shadow on car.
9. Annoyed wife by embarrassing her to no end to oncoming motorists.

Yes. Very very low difficulty.

Kinda like shooting a non-moving landscape or a bucking ram from the safety of your megazoom lens.

Congratulations on creating an image so interesting it made the voters forget the theme of the challenge!

You said: "DNMC voters, read the challenge description again."

And I did... it reads: "Your photo must be made up of two or more copies of the same photo flipped to create a symmetrical image"

The image you created is not symmetrical.

Congrats on getting a great score nevertheless!
