The illuminated forground (fill flash I assume) takes away from the composition IMO

Originally posted by totaldis: why is this photo cropped just above his foot and just below the top of the gyro

It's because it wasn't taken with the intention of entering the challenge. I was on vacation and came back home to realize that this challenge was going on - looked at my photos, realized this one met the criteria of the challenge, and decided to give it a shot :)

The crop is a bit too tight,the B & W is very nice...I just don't care for images of someone else's artwork...unless the photographer made the artwork being photographed.

For this contest everyone who has the word �circle� in their title is getting a max 10 score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I upgrade to 10 due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge need to be reminded of the topic of the challenge � we really need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will give a 10. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of voting � but scores are all I have.

For this contest everyone who has the word �circle� in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge � we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest � but scores are all I have.
