I like the alternate, but I like this one much better. It has a very "skateboard" feel to it - the freedom and singleness that the activity seems to imply. I like the stop sign in red and everything else in brown. That could well be a statement, but it doesn't really say that for me - I just like the tonality of it. In scrolling back and forth to comment, it seems to me you could crop the top just down to where the cars are gone - puts the skateboarder even more into his world. Oh, and don't get hung up on scores - this is actually a pretty darn cool picture that requires more than the standard DPC 2 seconds.

Very creative design from paper. Coloring works really well.

An interesting idea, and you have some nice shapes here, but this image is very difficult to look at for more than a moment because the blue is overpoweringly blinding. The boarder seems a little overdone as well.

Beautiful shapes and lines throughout, and the background softens it nicely.
Reminds me of old filigree.

Yeah Baby! You know this rocks on every level. Can you say "This is my second blue ribbon shot on DPC"? I knew you could!

You know what you are doing Tim, so I'll keep this brief. The picture would have scored a great deal better if the stop sign were sharp. I know that's small, but I fully believe if it were sharp you would have had a killer image here. I have it as a rule that if the object has writing on it it needs to be either totally sharp or totally out of focus. The eye HATES blurry writing. Hates it, my friend. You only made it worse with the selective desat drawing attention to the pictures deficit. ;)

Composition is excellent. I love the way the skater appears mainly frozen while the board is what is moving. That's a great touch in my opinion.
