Striking and dramatic - love the colours, maybe even a tighter crop would have worked for this challenge.

I love this kind of work. The color tone, the shallow DOF, the lighting, it all works. Very well done!

Love the tones and the shallow dof is exceptional. Had I been online to vote and comment on this at the time, I would have likely given it an 8 or 9. There are some truly spectacular shots in this challenge, to be sure, but what grabs me here is the gritty, hard light feel to the processing. Definitely post work choices that make it stand out from the rest, imo. Congrats on a good score!

One of the best for the challenge, imo. Sepia tones work great here and the dof is very effective. Very rustic. :o)
