This is in the Top 3, for me.

The photograph is sound fundamentally... nothing in the image distracts me by being either too soft or too harsh, and that is always difficult with this sort of lighting (at least it is for me). The props are placed nicely, as well...

The subject is relevant to the contest, but is totally unique from all of the other submissions. That, to me, is what makes a photo a winner - does it fit the criteria without trying too hard? Absolutely.

Your image works the most for me because it offers a story, it is art.

Thank you for sharing.

With some post-processing it would be much better. I mean primarily to get rid of the noise and the gray layer.

I like the idea and the composition. On the other hand, the picture's quite noisy, and maybe making it a bit more contrasty would add to the moodiness. Good overall though :)

Very well staged shot. I think you did a good job especially with the lighting. I can totally see your vision and passion, but overall I am not into this kind of shot.

I really like your picture, am surprised it didn't end up with a much higher score. Very nice work for a first entry! Hope you enjoy DPC as much as I do.

Interesting shot, I like the greenish tint to give the image a vintage feel.
