Congratulations. This place is amazing. It somehow makes me feel almost the same as in the film Hypercube, but without blades :)

Oh my my my :)

There is nothing better then a creative shot. I prefer the ones that are strait out of the box :) This is one of them.

I am realy realy suprised this shot came out 186! Come on people can't you apreciate novelty and creativity? I wonder who gave this shot a 1!!! Maybe he could justify his judgement?

Any way congrats on this incredible shot and creativity!

Thank you all for voting on me !

And now some explaining :)

It's a STARGATE and you're about to fall into it. It can't be off- center!
It's in front as a gate so that you can walk into it :)
The middle is also black intentionaly, like in a whirl- you can't
See the center untill you enter. The leading lines are pulling you right into the black unknown, well that was my intention.

Oh it's not back lit it's lit from above. It was reflecting light and it created a very interesting light show.
Here is the original in colour the way it came out of the camera :)

Wow thanks graphicfunk :)

I am not worried about the scores ( didn't come here to receive points ) :) I'am interested in how do people respond to my work :). You can learn many things in here.

Besides, dp challange works as a motivation factor for me.

Thanks to all for the comments and votes.

I like this shot very much and I'm proud of it. I thought that I was going to break the 6.0 score with this shot and score higher but well :) maybe next time.

GoldBerry this saying is reffering to the fact that only a handfull of photographs is really good from out of them all. Let's say it's a humble saying :) But to tell the truth a very real one.
I wouldn't say that a photographer is all-seeing.

Cheers :)

Thanks to all of you for voting on me!

I achieved my goal - judging by your comments - This was supposed to make people laugh and ... it did :)

There where many amazing shots in this chalange, congrats to all photographers and good luck to you all :)

That's my doggie here, she's adorable. I shot this the last day ( as I remember ). This shot wasn't intended to be high key but since I had nothing to use as my background I used my white wallpaper. Then I seeked a way to remove it without breaking the rules and afterall I am very happy with this big contrast and the high key.

The nose was ment to be blurred from the very beginnig.

When I saw the challange I first wanted to shot a horse. This particular horse is named Szanta and she does pretty amazing things :) Well didn't have time for that one. Then I wanted to use her for the macro challange, but well... didn't have time for that one either.

As I sad, congrats to you all :)

String and Claws

What I like :

-Good capture
-the claws are nice
-I know how difficult it is to shoot an animal.

What I dislike:
-The leaf should go
-The details of the screw should go
- The string somehow destroys the composition. I see rather chaos ( but that might be your intention). It might be a good thing because you might see it as adding to the danger and fighting situation
- I am not sure about the DOF you used
-As I understand the claw was the subject, since the cat held his other leg so far in front the placing is ok, but if possible you could have moved it a bit to the right(the claw that is). A smaller DOF would have enhanced the claw. If selective saturatiob/desaturation was permitted, the claws them selves could be in colour but the rest in b&w.
-The colours seem to be so ...dead, and it somehow mismatches the spirit in these claws of the cat. B&w might repair this.

All in all I give you a 5 , but close to a 6. Why? Partaly I wrote, but also because the competition is better.

Good luck and go get them :) Think more of the part of the photos that could give a meaning to the photograph, think out of the box, Don't just limit your self to an interesting capture, even in an interesting capture thing's might add to the overall ouctome. Think of those 'things'
