Congrats on the blue ribbon! This was my favorite shot in the challenge. I figured you might get hammered for "not meeting the challenge", but I thought this was very clever.
The correspondence of a color to a specific wavelength is called spectral color. White and black are excluded from this definition because they do not have specific wavelengths. White is not defined as a color because it is the sum of all possible colors. Black is not defined as a color because it is the absence of light, and therefore color.
Yep, this had to be it for this challenge. Well conceived, and typical for you. Also popped you a 9 in there, and not a bad score in the end. Congrats on the ribbon.
That 2 hurt. Would have been my first entry over 7.
I gave it a 9. I'm surprised you didn't get more low votes, actually, since there's almost no color in the thing :-) I'm proud of the voters for what they did with this one... Well done, Chris. It's good to have you back.
So striking and interesting! Sorry about the 2... I hate it when that happens. I can't see any justification for a 2 on this one. Congratulations on having the last word by winning top honors!
Love it. Might have boosted the blues in your eyes for a touch of contrast, and eliminated the pink in your lids. I'm sure you're getting hammered for going against the grain.
