Excellent take on the theme of the challenge. The best tribute to JawnyRico I've seen yet. Excellent exposure. 10

One of my ribbon picks - good choice in silhouetting - misty trees add a special touch

Nice tribute to Sean's blue ribbon winner. I understand the symbolism using the cross with the hat and camera, and take away the camera and you could probably interest Hallmark in making this a condolence card. However, when making a tribute to an individual we should use caution with religious symbols unless we know the faith of the one we are honouring, imagine using a Star of David in a tribute and finding out that the person you are memorialising is Muslim. You are probably unaware that Sean and his family are Jehovah's Witnesses, and the cross is not a part of their faith. I am not pointing this out to make you feel bad, please don't as I fully appreciate your intent. My point is that we live in a diverse society and that we need to know about the beliefs and lifestyles of others before using symbols that may risk offending. Your photo is well thought out and your sentiments are genuine, I'm giving it the high score it deserves.

Not sure about the faint shapes of the trees in the background, but it seems as though you were trying to make them less of a distraction to the main silhouettes of the horse and cross. I think taking them out all together would make for a cleaner shot (if that's legal with the editing).

Oh wow way to do a shot to honor a fellow DPCer! This has many elements of JawnyRico's blue ribbon The Cowboy - from the sunset hues to the silhouette of the main subject. But that is where it stops for now the horse is without his rider. His friend has passed. In memory of JawnyRico there is a cross bearing a cowboy hat and a camera (nice touch by the way) Lighting and compositional elements are very strong in this photo. The title also strengthens the emotions and mood of the picture. Very well done bumping up to 9.

Terrific work with the lighting, the dual-layer of silhouttes is magical. Lovely sunset colors. The cross with the camera and hat is perhaps too busy and somewhat heavy-handed, but it certainly gets the point across.
