Creative, but not meeting the challenge for me I'm afraid. I might go for it if there was actually a brown ribbon but little gold people..hmm, I don't think so.

Love the colors here, and the textures. The sign does appear to be levitated. Perhaps that is the 'magic'. I think it was lost on most voters though. The image is great, I think the voters just didn't connect it well with the challenge.

Unique and creative take on the challenge. I think the people could have been placed a little differently, as it was difficult to make out the ribbon at first. Not a big fan of the background either, photographing this on black cloth may improve it IMO.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club.

This is much easier to comment on post challenge than it would have been whilst voting was ongoing, why? because if this image was created intentionally then it could be deemed 'Art' but if it was taken as a 'serious' attempt at getting a sharp image and submitted for a laugh or an attempt at the brown then it fails to impress. That little statement could open up an entire debate as to when/how people see 'Art' and I'm sure everybody would be right as 'Art' is subjective, its just that I would prefer to know that what I'm looking at is a serious image (or am I falling for The Emperor's New Clothes ruse lol)

First Impression: I saw the eye in the thumbnail and was pleasantly suprised when I opened up the full size image. Its quite compelling when viewed for more than a moment and can imagine 'real' Critics extolling their wisdom whilst explaining the meaning behind this.

Composition: My initial thought was this would hold up well as a central image however you are probably drawn into the centre of the eye with this composition, all those converging lines are great.

Subject: Yup, its a tunnel so fits the challenge well, its also an eye so you can add 'tunnel vision'. Sadly DPC are not quite ready or willing to accept this sort of photography so I commend you for keeping up the good work.

Technical: Not an image to be technically critiqued as this has nothing to do with 'how' you shot it but the 'why' and 'what', its something to view without thinking about light, sharpness, grain, focus or other elements that tend to make up a more acceptable image.

Final thoughts: I'm so glad I drew another of your images for critique as they really are worth viewing for longer than the 2-5 seconds I'm sure most people spend on the average submission. You need to flip the image horizontally cos skewsme is driving on the wrong side of the road! Keep them coming Don and give yourself a posthumous ribbon for this.

I see the yellow, of course, but what is the magic part of this?
