I like how he's lit against the dark background, then his dark shadow is against the lit background. Nice.

I like the interesting shadow of the man as much as the subject himself. Good shot.

Congrats on the ribbon Deb! I read your comments earlier and every time I see the homepage I think about the lighting. You said that there was no way to reconcile the lighting outside and inside and yet I think that makes the shot. The glass is an almost invisible barrier between the girl and the gift she wishes for, and the different tones outside and inside provide even more distance.

Oh my... was an astounding image. Albeit this image did really well in the challenge, I personally believe that it should have done even better. Very nicely done.

Comment by PHOTOKID:
Out of all three, i like this one the best. I like the depth given by the peer, and the shadows caused by the pylons really give alot of interest to the photo. I also like the soft light hitting your subject on the head and back. Just seems to flow together nicely.

Well spotted! That stooped shadow is so ominous - excellent work Deb.
