Wow! what the hell happened here. How did you end up near the bottom with this shot? People just don't get it. Although I knew it would not win, I had this in my top 10.
Oh well...Live and learn. Great shot John.

Comment by RLS:
The placement of the subject in this photograph meets the challenge as the musician is off center. The total blur effect, which I believe to be purposely used, in this photograph confuses me when I look at this photograph. I would like to suggest next time you attempt to capture most of the image in focus while using the hands strumming the instrument to show the movement blur. This would have had a better impact for me. I must give you a 4 for this effort. RLS

Charming, just charming! I think black and white suits this very well. Very self deprecating portrait.

This is a treat to view and interpret. You have captured not only the motions and sounds of this musician, but what one would imagine to be the energy of the moment and the surrounding environment. I'm impressed with the range of hues you were able to capture - this is not always easy in these settings. The saturation and contrast really provide the subject with an aura of sorts. The more I look at this shot, the more I understand that it is a harmonious union of vertical and horizontal lines. The window edge, mic stand, guitar strings, and shirt stripes all playing against the horizontal window blings, guitar frets. Wow - great job! Oh, by the way John, I like the PBase title better.

Well, my husband (mag) told me to be on the lookout for your shot, and here it is. He just told me that this is your last submission to dpc, and I'm disappointed and surprised. As you may know, I don't really follow the chatty stuff, but mostly just focus on the photos. I've always found your work to be both interesting and inspiring. I hope that your hiatus is short.
The element of this picture that I really like is the lighting, with all the little catchights on the various surfaces, like on the toe of your shoe.
Return soon.

Crazy urban image. I like it. You've captured some wild movements but it hasn't totally ruined your photograph - in fact, just the opposite. Well done. Extra points for taking this and cranking it up a notch with some high contrast.
