Cool Evening

Nice "glow"; the composition harmed perhaps by the centered horizon line. Seems to lack clarity -- may be a resizing issue. The frame actually improves the photo for once. I admit I'm a little tired of blue-toned boat scenes in general (see hotpasta's work).

Rural gouging

Sorry, DNMC. A landscape should be somewhat scenic, even if showing a detail of a view. Besides, there is nothing here that says "rural" to me. I wonder, why the negative image?

So happy this did well -- I love the humanity of this photo, and it was one of my top few for this challenge. Congratulations!

Congrats on your red ribbon! Not to take away anything from #1, but I voted this "best in show."

Mephisto, I added some camera settings to the photo info above. Yes, it seems impossible I blurred the shot with these settings, but I did! She was surrounded by a small group of friends and everyone was moving around, so I was literally trying to focus and shoot between people.

Bernard, thanks for your comment, too. Much appreciated.

Beautiful photo all around, it reminds me of a classic portrait painting. Very well done b&w. I agree she has a lovely, dreamy expression. I thought at first you had smoothed her face but realize it is just youth!

I love this concept. I wonder how it would have done in the Crime Scene challenge? The colors are a little over-vibrant for my taste -- I wonder how it would look with traditional wooden clips?

Glad to see you back on DPC. Great combo of colorful story and colorful photo! What a bizarre, memorable day you had -- I think I'd have crapped my drawers over the knife incident, too.
