Now, was this taken after the high contrast challenge was announced? imho it would have faired better in that challenge than this. Whilst I like the effect you got my brain is telling me this is two images so rather than follow the image I'm bouncing between 2 shots with an ugle bin? inbetween them. It looks like an interesting location you found.

Am not a fan of toys in challenges (woodies are sometimes ok) but this is an excellent shot. Did you try a longer exposure and wobble his head? that might have been fun (or a big mistake).

Yup, its unique though probably means more to you (the title says its personal) than to the voters as to them its just a photograpgh of photographs. A nice way for you to display your collection though.

A nice fun image that of course meets the challenge well. I like the fact you desaturated all but the toilet and poo'er but not sure about the land in the background, shadow highlight tool? also, is there some cloning in the trees right of the paper? Lets hope he isn't actually doing 'something' as the toilet seat is down ;)

I do like this, even more on my second visit. Simple yet complex and I think you have made what could have been a snapshot into an excellent study. I hope this does well for you!

Kiwiness & Anastasia Shooting Film

lol, Anastasia appears to be thing "but there isn't an lcd screen" and Kiwiness is thinking "wow, you press this button, the whole back opens and you put this stuff called film in the back". Great 'staged' candid and I'm liking the (of that age) duotone. Even the wallpaper looks like its from 'that era'

WOW! looking at the flecks of glass around the top of the lens it looks as if you rally took the drill to it (rather than staging it like I'd probably have done). Am loving the title. My only nitpic would be that you should have bought a new drill bit. One of the few shots that I would say meets the challenge 100% - good luck!

ok, this particular scene may not have been seen before at dpc but to me this doesn't shout WOW, this is a totally new image!

I have no idea how the voters will take this challenge, I'm not voting as I think I'd be marking down images like this for not being truly unique and never before seen on dpc. I like the fact that you shot the boy from the back, it adds to the alone concept. Great dof and overall treatment of the shot. Vignettes are overused imho and often just look like they have been added for no reason, I think it works well here and compliments the shot - nice one!
