While this has a subtle, surreal quality to it, it also portrays a contrasting stoicism that grounds it in solid reality. This is an amazing capture and one that must be very satisfying to have taken. By far the best photo in the challenge. Congratulations, Ed.

Wonderful photo. Unlike most of the voters, my only complaint is that the bird IS recognizable. Without the small tail giving away it's identity, this sea creature could have scored even lower, but would have been a better piece of art. Don't compromise your photography for a high DPC score unless you are doing it intentionally.

Great job Deb. You nailed the processing on this - it's wow, but not overbearing.

Excellent. The nondescript yellow object that the model is holding really makes this photo stand out.
