Dr. Dale Barnard: Working With SARS

Thanks for the comments. This was a fun challenge, with lots of great photos. I'm surprised mine did so well and a bit saddened that so many excellent shots placed so far back. I was just outside a window and could not go in, as then my camera would have to have been detoxed (and ruined). But I asked if he could come to the window closer. I liked the dark look, and liked seeing the eyes as a second surprise.

I'm glad this placed well, but surprised it does not have a blue ribbon. A really marvelous shot, well composed, and other elements (diagonal lines) that reall add to the drama. I love the colors, too. Super work!

Hi David. I'm not sure how this got way back here. I suppose it could use more light on the guy, but the photo still works. Unfortunately, most folks don't look for more than a few seconds (like 2 or 3!), so subtle shots like this, which are good, don't get the attention they deserve. Keep up the good work!

Well 24th certainly isn't bad, but this should have done better. It's just marvelous.

I'm glad this did well. This is a great shot and is a little more subtle than DPCers usually prefer. Super work!

I'm glad this did well. It is not a shot that most DPCers would rate highly, even though it's an excellent photograph. Good work!
