We are all photographers and KNOW what "exactly 2 seconds" was refering to. I DID NOT enter a photo because I was not able to get a decent 2 second shot. So I'm honest, and adhere to the challenge and BINGO a shot wins that was NOT a 2 second exposure.

I hope my image of the garbage man picking up trash last Saturday scores well in the "PLAYTIME" challenge !

Lets just have all challenges be FREE STUDY from now on.

In my humble opinion, as someone that did not enter or vote, is that I think the description is just that, a description of what to do. Would a 1/500 shot of a naked man standing in a window ("exposing himself") for two seconds (hence a two second exposure) be right or wrong? I think it would be a lateral interpretation of the challenge and perfectly alright, as is this shot. As an aside though, I think it would be nice if you did include the full details of the shot to help people like me that would like to try something similar. I'd love to know how long it actually was and to be honest, wouldn't be surprised if it was close to 2 seconds (but it would be nice to know). Well done on the ribbon.

EDIT AFTER A FEW COMMENTS

I didn't enter or vote and as a result I made the above comment without realising what the details of the challenge said.. "Take a photograph using a shutter speed of exactly 2 seconds."... I stand corrected. The DPC needs to change and make the details something that needs to be adhered to. My apologies.

Congrats on your ribbon, I knew this one would place well. About the background I already wrote in my previous comment and I see it has been reinforced by many others here. Somehow it just seems as a waste of such beautiful scenery and alone it would have been a top shot by itself.

Excellent photo. Beautiful subject, background, lighting, and composition. It would have been cool in the "light-painting" challenge.

Why not post the exif info?

again, same comment as to the blue ribbon "winner" ...if you shot this at anything more than 2 seconds it should be disqualified...
