A very classy looking arrangement. Nice muted tones, and great textures to shoot it on.

I much prefer the outtake. This one, although I marked it 7, left me unclear about my own reaction. And it's a bit wobbly itself - things are either curved or straight, my eyes are searching for something to grasp in a sea of maroonish sepia. This is of course my own reading as blunt as I could have put it but the image itself was among one of my highest marked in this challenge.
The outtake has extraordinary power and it's like a grave piece of music. You could have posted it in the "painting" challenge although I prefer to relate to its musicality.

Anita, DPC is getting to be very weird as the number of votes is getting to be at all time low. Soon the score will be totally meaningless, statistically insignificant, and completely not worth bothering about. The death of DPC is coming sooner than later, your image is the proof.

the texture of time elevates this photo into something more. I'm hanging this in my fantasy gallery
