Congrats on your yellow! Yours was one of my few high rated images and my pick for a ribbon! Great perspective and I love the tones in this!

Thanks Brent and Lydia! I was surprised this did so well with all the great entries but it has encouraged me to try to get out and enter a few more challenges. It's a good way to improve and maybe I can up my average. :-)

Here's to... Good food. Good friends. Good fun.

Sorry for the DQ Lydia, I used this method in one of my entries and it probably would have been DQed if I had been in the top 5. I guess this is a hard lesson for all of us. :-( Good luck with you next challenge!

Congrats Brent, on your new Personal Best! I recognize that hall and it's perfect for this challenge. I didn't vote in this challenge but I would have given you a 10 for sure!

I didn't vote in this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given it a 6. The image is nice and sharp, and the colors and composition are nice. This was quite an illusion and your success at capturing it lead to confusion as I'm sure most voters couldn't tell this was a reflection and thought "DMNC" when viewing it. I'm finding out that you have to hit the majority of the voters over the head with an image that very obviously fits the challenge so my only advice would be to be have a very literal take on the challenge description. I know I will next time, if I continue to beat my head against the DPC wall! I only received a 4.5648 on my "Inside Out" picture, so only my second worst score - I can't even win a "worst score" challenge! :-D Good luck in future challenges!

Reflections in spoons

Originally posted by IreneM: Even with this one, it took me three evenings to get it right, my neck and schoulders were aching with bending over to hold the sheet above the spoons in the darn light-tent at a thousand different angles and the camera was killing my hand and arm holding it up. I swore so many times, I'm sure I'll never get anywhere near heaven... (must have a word with Enzo about that ;-)

Congratulations on another Blue! Your work is so wonderful and I really appreciate your sharing the setup and details of the shot - you have the patience of a saint, even if you have the vocabulary of a sailor! I probably would have given up after the first 50 shots! :-D.

I wish the top of the fingers wasn't cut off but interesting processing and idea.
