Hey - way to go! That's awesome! ;-)
Seriously, though, it really is an incredibly marvelous and delightful photograph. |

This actually did way better then I imagined it would. A personal best for me in regard to score, (top 20!!!) as well as comments. I had some wonderful comments from many and I thank everyone who commented.
There were some truly amazing photos submitted to this challenge, very well done everyone!!! As I was going through the photos and voting/commenting, it kept occuring to me that there is so much talent on this site, and this community is becoming for me almost my second home. Thank you...
MW.

Mine was a personal best with portraiture/model work. Which means a lot to me, so thanks. Plus Top 10 score for me, so that's never a bad thing.

Pretty cool, with the same tinted sky, etc, you can imagine how in 100 years the ship will look like this:

Ended up at 5.921
A personal best, received the most comments (23) during a challenge, and was selected as a fav.
Fun stuff! I had a feeling I'd get some criticism for the border, but chose to use it anyway since I liked it.
Congrats to everyone else that had personal bests as well! |

It wasn't really close to being my personal best, but it was one of my favorite photos I ever shot. I adore dolphins, so getting the shots I did of them, meant a lot to me. :)
I also got a lot of very nice comments, and they're always appreciated!

Not a personal best, just a personal oddity... I ended the challenge at EXACTLY 6.0000 - kind of odd, especially since 4 others did the exact same thing this challenge:)

This image is now my personal best to which I am very happy. I really thought this would be an improvement on most of my challenge entries and thankfully I was right. Of course, I would like to have been higher up the list, but I'm happy with a top 20 finish.
I also ended up with the most comments during voting as well.
Many thanks to all for good votes and comments. This was a tough challenge with many wonderful shots.

the score isn't my best by a long shot, but the comments? wonderful. i really struck a nerve, it seems, with a shot that just makes me happy all over. it's the kind of work i used to do - pre-digital, pre-having all my gear stolen, pre-real life and not parents supprted and then university...
thanks to all who made such meaningfuil comments on this image.
'I looked over the top scoring images of the challenge. I looked where my image placed. I looked where my top scores (including this) placed. And I just have to wonder why I'm here. No, I know I'm here for images such as this. But I also know, with the results of this challenge, that I must understand that voters really annoy me. This should have placed near the top way above my image, which in retrospect seems so trite. But I will stay for moments such as this. Thank you.'
'I feel like I am caught in the middle of a faint. I have no idea where I am, but it's somewhere very important. It is somewhere between feeling and meaning. The lines of perspective are a hand opening up to take me to an interior place I've never been, and I see myself as a child, trying not to see, and I see this frightful hand upon my own face, touching its pinky against my own hand. I am in pajamas that are falling open, utterly vulnerable, slipping into what I hope is the familiar world of sleep... but this passageway is utterly unfamiliar. I wonder if that is my whole life being drawn in the multitude of shadows, charcoal sketches of the images and incidents of my life. I am trapped in the moment before you pull your hand away and everything is obliterated by the sun into a monolithic world of white. 10'
'Wonderful!! At first when the image began to load, I saw only the grain at the top of the house. I thought it was going to be a normal boring grainy snapshot. What a surprise I was in for. This is an image that I could spend a lot of time with. The title is perfect. Love all the stripes and other forms that the shadows make. My first 10 after 403 votes.'
'I rather like this: that hand, of course, but more perhaps the sheer graininess of it. There are sophisticated parallels of lines - the boarding, the boy's fingers, the shadow fingers. There's something more than a simple snapshot - or perhaps I mean that there's something about certain snapshots that sometimes works on more levels - that escapes the derogatory meaning of 'snapshot'. Lovely work - and I hope I'm not the only one to notice.'
'Brilliant!
I have already checked this a few times today. Don't think I will ever get bored of this image.'
'I find this shot oddly captivating...lovely'
'Hmm - There are parts of this that are just wonderful! The grain, of course. The 50s feel, the boy, the hand shadow, the house, the sun, his shirt with the piping. THE LINES, straight and receding on the house, diagonal shadows, angles pose of the boy. Here's what I don't like: I have a "what is it? mind. Things I can't identify are distractions for me. What has he got in his other hand? I'd be happier if you cropped it. What are the odd things hanging on the house?'
