I get a little fed up with my scores on DPC on occasion and then I see a shot like this coming in 59th with a 6.0xxx and I realise that I have nothing to complain about. I'm a so-so photographer who generally takes so so shots, you capture something as magical as this and it doesnt get a ribbon....I can tell you I would be v upset in your place. This was and remains one of the best child candids I have ever seen. Beautiful

A very good and humorous image that meets the challenge well. However, in my (limited) experience. Humour does not do very well in DPC unless executed to perfection (I say this from my own experience) and you may well suffer in terms of voting because of some very minor issues that would probably be overlooked in a more conservative shot. The plug, plughole and shower tubing all help to give the image excellent context, but small things such as the shadows, the hot spots from the reflection of the light and even possibly the fact that the plughole does not glisten like a new penny will probably cost you votes. Possibly could have even done with slightly more zoom (or cropping) to focus solely on the plug spider etc and reduction of the bath itself.

From my own perspective I like this image a lot and have scored it 8, however the ideas I have suggested (yet often fail to execute myself) would I believe see this move from what I am guessing would be a 5 score to a 6+

Hope this comment does not seem too self important/indulgent its simply made because I love this type of picture and would love to see it front page come rollover day

Nice image that captures the sentiment. Congratulations for having the faith in the picture (and the voters) not to use the word pure in the title. The image conveys it perfectly

Lovely minimalism and abstract. This would have looked terrible had it not been executed perfectly, fortunately is was executed perfectly, it meets the challenge wonderfully and feels almost zen. Should be in a frame on a wall somewhere

Lovely picture that meets the challenge well. Congrats for not feeling the need to stick the word pure in the title, the smile on the childs face portrayed the sentiment well without it needing to be hammered home. Lovely shot
