That is so wrong, and yet I find myself laughing. Do you drink out of it after the horse has his lick?

Is this you, Whiterook? Or is someone else trying to steal Rook's thunder here? The lack of rotation is a particularly ingenious touch.

This is outstanding. Is this someone with a lot of blue ribbons going for a smelly brown? Let me count the ways this should be a 10: exceptional creativity with cropping; excellent use of blown whites to symbolize blowing a wad of cash on property here; outstanding subliminal brown chess pieces rising from the sea of white rookness. I could go on, but am left in too much of a state of rapture created by this photo.

Just kidding. This sucks ass. 1.

Who's in Charge!?...SAY IT!

I gave this a 6. I think it has some really strong points: good shallow DOF; pleasing composition; funny title. Technical issues that kept it from scoring higher IMO: harsh overhead lighting; not enough negative space above queen and below king; noise in shadows; color cast in b&w (almost looks like green or yellow filter was applied). Hope this is helpful!

Hi Bob,
I thought this was an interesting take on this challenge. Refreshing to see a field amidst all those flowers (including mine LOL). I love the curved lines in the background.

What the *&#@? I didn't vote on this, but would have given it a 9 or 10. I can't believe voters didn't understand that you put the camera on a table and took a photo of your legs. I didn't think a table had to be in the photo! This is just beautiful. What a sense of mood you evoke here. Into faves.

Hi Jeb,
I was one of those who voted this high (gave it a 7). I think it is a beautiful 'slice of life' portrait that is both poignant and slightly menacing (one gets the feeling that she passes through a difficult neighborhood on her way home). I think this would have done very well in a Free Study; it is a very good photo technically and also tells a story. I guess the voters wanted super-shallow. Don't let it get you down - your photos are getting better and better!

What an utter and complete jerk!!!! I am so sorry you had to witness that. I would have bawled my eyes out.

Hi Jeffrey,
Thumbing through your DC photos makes me a bit nostalgic. I particularly like the angle and PP you chose on this one. Has almost the feeling of a bunker.
