Damn, this was one great and imaginative shot. Personification at it's best. Sorry to see the dq, but at least you know it was the best of the bunch. Keep up the great work. |

Well, shoot... welcome to the club, Van. Remember my ribboning sunrise, just after I got the 20D? The Camera shop people set the time/date before I picke dit up, never noticed it was 12 hours off... Sorry it happened, but what the heck... |

Again Thanks for the positive comments. The DQ was my own fault, I didn't check my camera date. I haven't had a good enough scores to even think about it. Being a totally positive guy, I believe the rules rule. So, I can't be blue for not scoring a Blue. Van |

Congratulations, Van!!! I'm so sorry that your date is wrong, at least you know you won a ribbon! I'm really tickled for you. Jack and I have been so busy getting our shed built that I haven't even checked in here at DPC for a while - my Mom sent me an e-mail to tell me that you had won. What a great picture, too - I wish so much you could keep the Blue! |

Way to go Van. Congratulations on your first ribbon, and blue to boot. Hey, as long as you know that you legally won first, that's all that matters.

8 - Like this. Criticism; just seems a slight gamma or contrast issue, not sure, especially in the stem. Would like to have seen that fore pointed 'sword' nice and sharp, but otherwise a creative and unique shot well suited for the Challenge. |

A picture which captures a characteristic well and has technical merit. I had this as a 7, but I'm bumping it to an 8. I'm not sure this is personification in the literary sense, but it's close enough compared to the majority of entries in this challenge. |
