WOW - Beautiful shot! I love it! The bottom is a little blown out, but the colors, composition, DOF, water ripples/shadows are outstanding!

Oxidized Metal Sculpture

I really like this shot - and I like the fact that the building's clock is "inside" the sculpture. Beautiful green colors, slightly overexposed, but a great shot!

Really nice shot of Mother Goose! :-) And I like the leaves in the foreground (with the exception of the one under her beak, but it's really not that much of a distraction to me).

Great use of close/far away = very well composed shot. Cool job!

Obsolete Transportation can be a Real Drag

I bet you get a lot of comments on this image! It's a very cool and unique shot. There's good clarity of the main subjects, but they seem a little overprocessed to my eye ( they look like they've been removed from the shot, augmented, and then replaced with the updated images. Whether or not this is the case, you have created a very emotional shot - which is great! The more emotional reactions you receive from your audience the better (at least that's my opinion).

I like the title (although you spelled it wrong in English), but I just don't get a whole lot of feeling from the image itself. Yes, I understand that you took it from the top of a glass that was once filled with a caffeine-saturated substance - probably coffee, tea, or some chocolate substance) - but it just doesn't grab me as detailed enough, colorful enough, or artistic enough to look like anything more than coffee grounds or leftovers from a good drink. Perhaps that is what you were trying to convey - and if so, you did so very effectively! But as far as a vote on DPC goes, I have to give you a 3. And the image is only scoring a 3 because I like it - I like the colors, the perspective, and the ice crystals. I don't see the relevance to the challenge topic at all.

I'm sorry, but I don't get it. Perhaps it is due to the fact that it is a statement particularly relevant to Europe, Asia, or other areas outside the USA. It's a cute pic - don't get me wrong - but I just don't understand how this translates to viable entry to the current challenge. I know that there needs to be leeway given to the artist when representing "his/her" interpretation of the challenge topic, but I just don't get this one. Again, I'm sorry, (because I don't do this often) but I can't score it above a 2.

Beautiful job. Very nice. In my humble opinion, this should be the clear winner of the blue ribbon. I've reviewed all of the entries (twice now) and found yours to be the most relevant and unique. 10
