Well I see from the OOBIE and Posthumous threads that this was a photo that really touched some people, and for me even if a lot of people did not get it this is so much better than having everyone go "hmmmmmm its OK".

Very clever take on the challenge, and I love the sharpness of the emerging sticks. Really top class B&W conversion as well. Overall an image that will have a lot more long term appeal than many that finished above it in the challenge

Not sure I like this composition with the head cut off.

I agree with you, I think it was because your framing lines were diagonal, that threw people. Tilt your head, it's obvious! :) I liked the look of this, I thought it was a great study of light and shadow.

an interesting perspective, the quality of the picture lets it down a little

Who said centered-subject compositions are boring! Love this, and great for the challenge.

good shot but I wish you had retained the color....I think it would give more warmth from the fur. Even so, you did a good job framing the fawn. Good luck.

An interesting concept and creative take on the challenge. I'll confess my eye is drawn more to the very bright areas behind the main subject clothes pin than the subject itself, though. This is particularly troublesome on the left-hand side of the photo where there are no interesting shadows crisscrossing the large blown area. I appreciate, however, that this may be a stylistic choice on your part, and again I do find this very creative.
