A good demonstration of how lighting can be used to create a "noir" effect - it matches the challenge in every respect because both the subject and the lighting is used in a creative fashion to capture a mood piece that is outstanding. Sometimes images can tell stories and this image sparks the imagination which is what lighting is all about. Well done.

Great sense of drama in this shot - doesn't seem to be much in the shot at first glance but it definitely has me intrigued the more I look at it.

This has a feel of the famous photographer Brassai. I really love the shadows and use of line.

Something tells me this might not score well, but I think it's gorgeous!

there is nothing concrete in this photo, if it wasn't the title I wouldn't know what it's all about, I wonder what's the blurry thing at the back, is it a tree? It is really distracting

It almost looks like a drawing to me but upon closer inspection I can see that it is a silhouette of the vine. It might be a little too subtle for this crowd but kudos for trying something off the beaten path.

An excellent entry - interesting, different, squarely meets the challenge, and aesthetically very pleasing.

How come you missed the brown? You got the suck brown (now visible with Rob's new code sequence) and it makes one of the great browns, i.e. a genre of its own that flies right under the radar of dpc standard ribbon but is undoubtedly a worthy picture.

Glory glory glory, wham bam minimalism and all there.

Okay if you say so. I like the texture on the wood and the orange and red things in the foreground add interest.

I'm not sure I get this either, maybe some sort of code thing but will give you props for doing your own thing.
