I like this photo. It made me gasp out loud! It's very creative and yet totaly plausible. Very compelling and yes, it is a good photo in terms of photography.

Congratulations on the ribbon!

Originally posted by hopper: You're statement was that dpchallenge is somehow weaker because I've submitted an image that is not as good as someone else's. You're reasoning implies that every person new to photography should not participate here because only images which YOU think will benefit the site are allowed.

"Allowed"?..

I believe that the DPC site would benefit if there were more interesting/artistic images and less boring/tacky ones. You yourself wrote that you didn't like this image. I concluded that we owe it purely to the WPL that this mediocre image was posted to the site.

Originally posted by hopper: Hilarious that you're pointing out my bad manners. Don't take what I'm saying as a person attack, take it for what it is - which is a defense of what you call tacky, mediocre images and whether or not they are a detriment to the site.

There is nothing personal, I am only discussing this image, which you have posted for public discussion. Respectfully, I think that this image is tacky, primitive, and contains no photographic merit. Is this bad manners?
