composition and pose makes the most of your widescreen format. Lots of energy directed from sister to the other. A very energetic and engaging portrait.

Smoking - No Smoking
by jjbeguin

Comment:
the dichotomy is the obvious one: inside and outside. But the *title* puts a sardonic twist on it, by designating the inside as a non-smoking area and the outside as a smoking area...

...oh wait, there's an ashtray on the table...

ok, ignore the title! :D

Between Thought and Action
by elizadeb

Comment:
Eliza, your interpretation is a sound one, but not the only one. I saw all the holes as thought, established by having his head look like one of the holes. "Action" is implied by his profession, and the unmade environment that he is there to build up. The rubble below him is chaos, and the lines can be taken to represent some sort of organizing process, like a flowchart.

But the reason this gets a ribbon is that beyond the intellectual interpretation there is a strong *feeling* and *mood*. I interpret it as a Hamlet sort of quandary, which is supported by your title. Others will interpret it differently. But the feeling is there, and strong.

a truly remarkable effect and a picture easily worth more than a thousand words.

I see it as a cold, hard look at what DPC values, but it is open to many interpretations.

Go Toward the Light

This fulfills the challenge and is well executed to that effect, but silhouetted tombstones are a cliched symbolism that has difficulty holding my interest. The composition isn't that interesting, either.

This is the kind of picture I'm hoping to see in this challenge, a picture that tries to recreate the dream-state. Good fulfillment of challenge.
