au revoir (never goodbye)

I guess I will never understand the voting patterns here. To me this is simply the best high contrast photo in the challenge and yet it did worse than my own humble submission! It is animate and evocative and yet captures so eloquently the profound emotion implied within the title.

I have very few favourites on DPC but this is now one of them.

As usual, your tonal capture and processing adds impact to the picture. I am beginning to hate you! :-)

Seriously, another great shot that evokes an almost nostalgic reaction to a New York that I have only ever seen in the movies.

Ah! You are back again - excellent picture, too, with an almost surreal composition and great colouration. Love the catch-lights in the eyes as well - your new strip lights?

You know, I want to hate this shot but it is so compelling - awesome in fact. Possibly the first wedding shot I have seen that adds in the notion of future prediction, of what will be, as well as what is.

Possibly your best work EVAH, Peter :-)

This one I really like, Matt, although they are all good. Nice composition and great tonality, too.

Incredible shot that seems so "natural" and yet took so long to construct. Looks like interior architectural shots follow the same rules for makeup: basic makeup is fairly straightforward but to makeup without looking as though you have done so can take forever. (Not that I use makeup you understand :-)
