Beautiful control of DOF on this one. I like how only the bottom left is tack sharp and how the petals just seem to melt away.

Wow! I can't believe the nasty score on this one Alan. The voters were sure grumpy. I like the simple composition and the layers and textures created by the door, the bricks and how the graffitti leads us to the bare lamp. I didn't get to vote on this one, but I would have easily given this a 7.

Nice building! I like the the perspective to get the overhang in while leaving some room on both sides. I think it is a bit dark all around and may suffer from a mostly centered composition.

By being so tightly cropped, I am not sure if it really gives the feeling of abandonment as much as a more wide spaced image could do for you. The top rated entries in the challenge seemed to create the feeling that the whole area was abandoned, not just the building.

Anne - Well...I loved it. Sorry to see this one got such a low score. The use of snow to create a feeling of abandonment and cold works really well for me. Maybe it is a bit tight cropped for the DPC crowd.

Deb - Really nice details. It's too bad about the score - I really thought this was excellent and should have given you a high 5s. I wonder if a wider crop to provide more contrast and a little more real estate on the screen would have helped you a bit...maybe next time!
