The models are hilarious (presumably deliberately so), but the photograph is very good. 7

Well it's a good idea and a potentially appealing pose, but I think something seems to have gone wrong between camera and DPC. I know that you've gone for this look deliberately, but she appears a little muppet-like to me. I'm prepared to suffer your wrath about my comment ... I take that risk only because I think you've taken a very good portrait of a very good model, and then slipped. Still worth a 6 from me, but should have been higher. Sorry!

My choice as the best of your excellent Metal Study. This one is more than just a fragment or a detail; I think it's a very fine, artistic image in its own right.

I had figured it was yours as soon as I saw it, and so I deliberately saved it so I could compose an especially juicy comment. Alas, I entirely forgot to get back to it! So now I'll just say I'm pleased you have got a little bit more of the recognition you deserve ,,, for terrific but often bold photography, and patient but always sharply focused advice. You're DPC's premier mentor, Robert. Bravo!

Yeah, she's bellezza all right. Better get a new model, hombre ... you're cheating. :-)

I'd guessed JJ, too (Chris Shipman beat me again). Should have known.

Congratulations on first Blue, Lesley. It's a very fine image, but there's several more that are even better in your portfolio, so I hope this ribbon will encourage people to dig deeper into your work ... it's a rewarding and instructive experience, especially for those interested in discovering where art and photography merge.

Nice. Love the contrast between the steelwork and the jewel-like insulators. That's a very fine lens ... guess I've got to add it to my list, damnit!

I've already done three 10's (my record) so this has to be a 10 point 5. Contrasts abound ... light, tone, texture, weight, structure, exposure, processing and of course composition; all have got bags of contrast. Of these, it's the composition that's most impressive ... what looks at first like a casual, serendipitous city scene has actually been meticulously assembled and ordered with the eye of an artist.
