Shame...you have two DQ's now in only a handful of challenges. They could have been easily avoided if you read the rules. If you have any questions regarding the guidelines feel free to message anyone on the SC or even myself if you need an answer. Good luck in your future challenges and don't let these set backs frustrate you.

You did pretty darn well with this image all things considered in what amounts to a free study. I agree with MaryO, your shoe horn legacy is fully intact here! Nice job Steve.

LMAO! Gee Mr. Yo_Spiff could this possibly be you? LOL. Very cool, and I especially like the color tones with the red against the silver shoe horn.

I believe you meant soft HDR. Nice scene.

I really love this shot. So genuine and sweet that the other kids are helping the younger one ride the bike. I love that it's in B&W as well. Very emotive for some reason. I don't like the precarious position of the bike though. It looks like he's about to get a rough initiation tumbling down a hill or street before he learns how to control the bike. That also contributes to the rawness display of life depicted here. 8

Great contrast and exposure, diagonal lines creating movement into the photo, sharp focus on the moon as well as the foreground and nice placement of the moon (ROT) within the composition. 10.

Nice to see I that I won't have to eat my camera strap after all! Congrats on a ribbon well deserved.

Thank you jahoward. I appreciate the comment and sentiment.

Never saw this one before. Simply adorable capture! Should have scored higher than it did, but at nearly 5.97 you did quite well.
