The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it̢۪s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It̢۪s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it̢۪s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it̢۪s the best way to protect your and the other̢۪s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.

I love the natural framing (from the shadows) and the feeling of depth. The blurred figure makes it feel somehow lonelier than if there had been no one at all in the picture.

Scale. It's all about scale I suppose. Immensity of the stage versus insignificance of the person. And the tiny bit of blur about the head & shoulders, as a bit of a nod to posthumous. Nevertheless I give it high marks for the conventional stuff: perfect exposure and tonal control. Top ten for me. Thank you.
