Oh, I like the negative space - emptiness stretching out before him. Adds to the pathos. Congratulations on the top ten.

This is the kind of stellar portrait I think of when I think of "Candid Portrait". So candid... yet so interesting and storytelling. Processed excellently, with an excellent score from me :)

Nice shot, but too much negative space. You should try to cut off the right side to make it square.

Wow nice image, sorry for the DQ. I got stripped of my first ribbon. Same reason, not the same technique though.

Sorry to see the DQ. I noticed you have been on a great run on your recent return to challenges. I am sure this is just a minor bump in the road. Nice job.

Great image. Sorry about the DQ. I understand why you used the stick - banana chunks are a bit heavy to try to levitate on a thread.
I'm guessing acceptability depends on how visibly significant the original was - a thread being pretty insignificant, but the stick being pretty significant. Not sure about the visible in the thumbnail concept - one of my dq's was for a software bug-induced change that was barely visible in the full-sized image, and others have gotten a DQ for something not visible on their monitor (but it was on others').
Regardless, it is still a great image, and was voted highly by the majority of your peers on dpc.

WE NEED NEW REFS! (Oh, sorry, confused DPC with NFL there for a second...)
