The shallow DOF really adds a sense of depth and character to this image. Beautiful

i like the brown color and bark texture against tje smooth black. Wish the whole subject were in focus, maybe crop in to give more cohesion to the picture.

the shapes are wonderful - it is unfortunate that the upward curl is into blur

I have no idea what this is but I certainly like it. The more I look at it the more things I see in it. Very nice!

The only 'bad' thing about this shot is the blown out area at the top, and even that doesn't bother me too much. Love the DoF, focus is on the right spot, and the speedo becomes a less distracting part of the background. An excellent photograph.

This shot must not have wide enough appeal. It was in my top ten, and I think it's awesome. Technically one of the best in the challenge. My bf wasn't too crazy about it though, and it obviously didn't score as high as it should have. I love it. The blue, the dof, the composition. It's great! Definitely can't judge the merits of a photo based on dpc score.

I like the idea, but I think the flag behind the tombstone would be more effective.

Nice simple photo, with a clear message. That message may be lost to more then half of your audience though, as the american flag does not mean freedom to a lot of people. Even if it does so for you, you always have to consider who your audience is.

Wow this is another fantastic image. The colors in this shot are so cool. It looks like it was fabricated they are so perfect and "complimentary" to each other. Your eye flows from top to bottom and back again. Awesome! You are tied for the lead in my opinion. 8.
