This flirts with not making the challenge, but what a shot...

Just a thought - if you're hungry for dpc success - a little secondary subject might have helped.

This is very well put together as it is, with the two set of lines 'lining up', as it were. It's balanced and understated, so I can see a good argument for not spoiling that.

A little hand on the wire? Something 'left'?

I prefer it without those things, but ??

Does this leave the good ship suck without a captain?

It's a canvas of a shot - all those things like cropping and balance-within-the-frame and such that I prefer to see than name, are seen and don't need to be named.

This should not have succeeded here as there are # no large fields of primary colour # no hyper-saturation # no unbroken areas without texture to set off the subject. There's hope for us yet.

You might say the understatement sets it off.

Well did.

First look through the entries and I see an awful lot of what looks like 'cheating', where things have been desaturated etc. This, though, looks like intelligent use of lighting, so well done. (Haven't actually settled on numbers yet, but you're in the 6 and upwards frame).
The shadowed arm sort of spoils it a bit - bit of goth face cream? (Or really, really intelligent lighting) :)

This is a magnificent shot of a bit of food - pin-sharp close-up with bold colours and all. All those fives and sixes must mean a lot of people saw this as an honest interpretation of the challenge but nothing to write home about. Some of the winners were 'more abstract', but I'd find it hard to justify others for being so far above this.
Holding it in chopsticks with a bokeh background might have got you something - at least a steady hand badge.

It's the lines that make sailing shots work (otherwise they're static). I doubt that I'll be voting on this challenge, so it's just for the comment, because I enjoyed seeing this.

4 kvartaler unna - stemmer nok. Jeg kjente dem ikke igjen. Tror ikke romskip ideen var helt vellykket. God ide, så klart. Fint bilde - kunne vart lysere på selve bygningene? En fly, en sky, hvasomhelst i den tomme himmelen.
