Normally a background that is obviously part of a zoo would be offputting. But here it provides a terrific contrast between the texture of the wall and the lions coat. Beautiful image.

I think I saw these things once before... my attempt to photograph them didn't work as well as yours though. Certainly an effective image.

This is astoundingly bizarre (and hard as it may be to believe I mean that in a good way :P). Looks almost like a composite shot - as if some photoshop guru has come along and merged one of yurasocolov's abstracts (//www.dpchallenge.com/portfolio.php?USER_ID=27293&collection_id=4655) with a dpc-standard-waterdrop image. The end result is (almost surprisingly) pretty DAMN cool.

Great job Robert, good to see your tremendous contribution to this site being rewarded in the score department - just a shame you had to pick such a hotly contested challenge to turn out a 6.7.

I do like the tonal range here, but composition seems a little haphazard - the frame is a little busy - still it's a shame it got disqualified, sorry to hear about that.

Definately one of my favourites in this challenge. The post processing was worth the effort.

Excellent stuff.

Wow, you've really nailed surrealism in the traditional sense. Not necessarily my favourite image here, but you could almost throw this in one of the painting style PS filters and pass this off as a Dali.

Great job.

My first thought on seeing this - 'I wish I'd thought of that,' this shot has scalvert written all over it - and in the likely even that you are not, in fact, said individual, just take that as a huge compliment to the creativity you've exhibited here.

Composition here is spot on, I think you definately made the right choice in cropping out the face - it creates a unique perspective, and enhances the overall impact of the image dramatically - its not every day I see a photo of a semi nude woman and my eyes go straight to her hands!

This is an immensely stylish photo - not technically perfect perhaps, but stylish nonetheless. Plus I can't help but laugh my arse off at the guys cheesy mo'.

Golden.
