Nice capture! Good light and focus. The subject appears a little disgusted at the situation though. :)

This image could be a 100 years old and look the same. Thats the appeal of it for me.

Perhaps this lovely photograph speaks to me because I'm so familiar with this path alongside the reservoir in Central Park, NYC, and have many times visited it. Maybe not, as it's beautiful without any personal connection. My wife, Shelley, and I have so very much enjoyed our strolls here, in springtime and otherwise. I treasure these memories you have evoked for me, in these days without. The cherry tree blossoms fill the world.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

(this is a rewrite of the comment I stupidly blew up when I tried to change my 8 to a 10 in the last minute of the evening)

This is really great. I don't know if I really agree with people who say that cats are people too, but this image might support that.

I knew this was the winner! Honestly one of the best photos I've ever seen on DPC. Totally compelling. 10 all the way.

I have to say that I am pleased that a photo taken with an iphone and quite straightforward processing can get some accolades proving that the most important camera is the one in hand.

The camera doesn’t see the eye does. I have to admit I never thought of placing the entry side by side like you have. That was one of the reasons you also scored so well, subject matter helped too. It’s funny I was sure I had seen this gentleman before. Wouldn’t it be lovely if you met him again and handed him this photo.
