Dead of Winter

this has SO much going for it ..
the winter scene .. the snow falling .. the building in the distance ..
and what really makes this for me is the broken fence ..
adds a sense of almost sadness .. loss .. when a photo brings out an emotion thats something very special .. :)
many congratulations on your fourth place .. this is outstanding .. :)

The Day's End

Comment:
this is glorious Sandy ..
many congratulations on your fourth place in the challenge .. xx

I'm sorry this got so little love during voting .. as in comments and high votes ..

it's a bit sad that things are quite different here in dpc than they were back in the day .. where I feel there was so much more of a community atmosphere with more comments and a less harsh approach to voting ..
they keep saying its a place to learn .. and it was for me for many years .. but when our photos go unappreciated with so little feedback as to why .. it's no wonder ppl are leaving ..

I love this photo .. its very beautiful .. and thankyou for the backstory .. that's just another way we can connect here in dpc .. xxxx

OMG .. what's going on here in dpc ..
this is STUNNING .. !!! ..
it appears i didnt get to vote but it would have got at least an 8 ..
lots of stuff going on for me .. had elbow surgery on friday .. they removed metal out of my arm .. and thats a long story ..
wish i had voted .. it deserved a heap more love than it got ..
the colours .. the whimsy .. the crazy details .. and of course the general feel ... all very attractive and wonderful ..
commiserations on this one .. luckily for you its not often you get so unappreciated .. xx

Amanda .. not one comment .. whattha .. !! ..
this is SO cute .. really cant understand the bad reception ..
felt it would go really well .. at least top 10 or better ..
results here in dpc are often confounding .. i'm in the process of trying to accept it all .. sometimes a difficult endeavour .. but where this came in the line-up i find quite disappointing ..
commiserations .. and hugs coming your way .. xx

Snakes in the kitchen

i did think of you when i viewed this in voting .. thought it deserved to be up there with the top ones ..
but this is a photography site Marion .. lol .. and turning your photographs into graphic art is often frowned upon .. :(
i'm all for going where others fear to go .. altho i do like for my photos to be appreciated .. bit of a quandary .. do i step out and get creative knowing it will probably be unappreciated or do i go with something i feel will get me higher votes ..
sometimes the two go hand in hand ..
anyway .. you have some wonderful images here in dpc where you have got extremely creative .. i love 'em .. :)

i think even with all the other excellent images that ppl entered in this challenge .. this one was up there as something so full of personality and whimsy .. it left all the others behind ..
its FANTASTIC .. !! ..
i dont think it looks pasted together .. it all fits ..
you have such a connection to your creativity .. its wonderful to see what you come up with ..
usually unique and usually something with such character .. :)

its a lovely dramatic black and white image ..
its interesting how ppl view our photos ..
usually i just go by a gut feeling .. does it speak to me .. do i feel awe .. etc etc .
if i was wanting to know your setup it would be only to reproduce it myself .. as a learning thing ..
anyway .. many congratulations on your ribbon .. :)
