Personally, if you had cropped just over the water pipe, it would have had a much more dramatic impact. All I am focusing on is the pipe as it leads my eye. The people are much more interesting

Weirdly enough, I agree with you about the shadows. All three of them should have shadows. How he does not have a shadow, I don't know. I think it sort of fell behind him. It was pretty uneven ground and I cropped to make the ground straight versus the concrete bank and I was also shooting downwards. Behind his back leg, there is a faint backwards shadow going towards the dip of the bank. It's a great but odd optical illusion!

And efaulk We are not picking on you, or on our comments. It is a valid comment and one I can agree on in terms of DPC.

Please do not think you are being singled out, as we talk about this photo.

There is DPC photos, then there is, I am so over it, this makes me smile and makes me happy for my own reasons photo that meets the challenge. That is where I am right now.

lol tnun

I like my clutter/ excessive top part, as I said it reminds me of exotic expensive wallpaper. For DPC, yes, a crop would probably be great idea, but I personally loved the top half, as to me, it brought it al together. But I like my tunnel of darkness, I pied to no one, but myself. Probably why, all my recent photos are 5-. I like what I have done. And I am at the point that , if it makes me happy or evokes a nice feeling, then it is good enough for me. Not DPC.

I love the clutter too, I can see where they are coming from as it seems you have to scroll down to see the bird, but when seen as a whole picture, it is very pretty. It reminded me of an expensive wall paper.

But yes, the crop would have helped for DPC

Those are grown up needle pads. If you look on green bits, underneath them you can see the little furry brown patches, those are the babies. here is the plant as a whole.
