Okay, I knew this one was coming and I've had a corner of my mind on composing my comment ever since I saw the thumbnail. Generally, I am against using the tragedy of others as an opportunity for gain (say by submitting it to a photo contest to pull on the heartstrings of viewers and receive a higher score).

That said, this photo is not only technically very well done, but the symbolism is VERY STRONG; down to the collapsed peels, still lingering, still reminding. Even the shadow contributes. NY: a shadow of its former self.

So in the end, I decided to view this photo as a tribute rather than a manipulative go at a better score, but that inclination lingers in me, keeping me from scoring you TOO highly.

I hope my honesty here is taken as it's meant: to enlighten you to the reaction of a viewer. I mean no name-calling in this post. 7, just-married

This is definitely the sort of image that will do very well in DPChallenge. I like it for the color, the concept, the reflection. 7 sjgleah
