Great shot, Cory.

Thinking of you and thanking you for your service on Veterans Day. Hang in there and be well.

Bad Idea

Yes, way underrated. Maybe it came too soon on the heels of the beverage product shot challenge? I admit I didn't visually grab onto the drinking and driving connection, maybe the green color threw me off, since it's not a color I associate with alcohol. However, it's a striking photo, unique in the challenge, and I thought the tilt was subtle but essential. Cheers!

Agreed, excellent shot. Great expression on the cute kid, too, and funny "rebel" clothes. I'd love to know the full story of shooting ths one.

PS: Wow, that's a lot of gear on that policeman.

My pleasure to nominate this for a "Posthumous" award; I believe the tilt really adds to the photo, which was the point of the exercise. Cheers!

I had the same feeling, they appear to be moving! Very nicely done.

Terrific photo, Dennis. One thing that lessens the impact for me is that it's unclear (visually) what is going on -- I can imagine a bomb aftermath, with a man in a hazmat suit in the background wreckage. Anyway, the picture definitely draws one in to read your notes, so the true story becomes clear.

Great, unusual portrait, Alicia. I like the look of wonder on his face. Nice use of b&w, too. Have to laugh at your "hernia" comment!

What a striking photo -- I didn't vote in the challenge, but surely this would have gotten a high score from me. Well done.
