This might have been better in the cemetery challenge

Good use of negative space

M... is for Mountain.

Unless you have some compelling reason to use such a small image it's a good idea to take advantage of the full 640 pixels that DPC allows in at least one direction.

The "M" is rather out of focus; a deeper DOF and a UV filter to eliminate some of the atmospheric haze would have helped this picture.

I like the perspective, but the distance makes the intended subject a bit poorly lit.

The weird white glow around everything makes this look over-processed.

A shallower DOF or a different crop might have made the professed subject of the photograph more obvious. As it stands, the background takes too much attention, almost to the exclusion of the "g".

The focus seems a little too soft

Well, you certainly got my attention with this picture. To date I don't think any other images here have caused my heart rate to increase dramatically.

Since the challenge is "accidental letters" and these letters seem to be intentional (if unfortunate), I don't really see how this meets the topic. For 'shock art' this is certainly powerful, but probably of rather limited appeal (as are most items in said genre). Due to the polarizing nature of this shot, I'd expect it to do poorly on any challenge, even if it was on topic. If the designated theme was "desperation" or "hopelessness" or something like that I'd probably give this around a 7. The clear view of the girl's face really adds a lot of impact to this shot. Anyway, this is a valiant effort but is unlikely to do well.

The skyline doesn't seem to add much to the image; I probably would have cropped it higher up on the pole.
