Hi Richard -

For being a shoehorned entry, you certainly found a good title. Fitting and not overused throughout the field of entries.

One thing I've noticed here is that DPC voters do hate dark, processed images, except when it looks like a draganizer action. We probably have Joey to blame for bringing that style into vogue here.

Whatever you did put the photo through, it has retained really nice clarity and texture.

Hello from �lex, CTP MkII

First Impression: What a week, my friend, two shots with more than 6.5 and both on top 20. Impressive job. I hope you don't decide to abandone us now that you're on the top...LOL.
Composition: very good composition. Maybe on the right is too tight to the bench, and a little bit of free space could help.
Subject: accurate for the challenge.
Technical: you have done a really good job on the PP, achieving a quite interesting photo.
Improvement: I don't really love the BG. The reflection on the door is too distracting IMO. And the white of the jersey is a bit blown out (maybe that's just on my monitor)
Summary: Very good job in meeting the challenge with a photo that maybe without the PP wouldn't be quite interesting.

Hello from �lex, CTP MkII

First Impression: WOW. Congrats on your new PB, once again. And on a top 20. Wonderful shot.
Composition: absolutely dynamic, off centered, quite interesting.
Subject: Obviously, great selection for the challenge.
Technical: Lovely tonality (is a duotone or just is so white and blue?). The focus is very good.
Improvement: Sorry, no ideas on this one.
Summary: GRRRRREAT.
