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.

ahhh a DQ that sucks your image is awesome, wow sorry for the DQ
Post actions
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!

Great shot, unique and fits challenge perfectly.

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.

Couldn't be anything but "en garde" Brilliant shot. You captured exactly what this challenge is about.
Post actions
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.

Wonderful. A very creative immage.

Title puts this over the top. The image itself works but in this challenge, with this title, I gotta give you a nine. Very well seen. Good luck in the challenge!
Post actions
Very nice, not sure how much I like the lighting but I love the composition (and the title)
Post actions
to me this was the best of them all (including mine, darn it!! LOL) but do think the lighting could have been better

My hair looks like this somedays!! cool shot.
Post actions
GREAT TITLE!!! Nice lighting too. The subject seems ever so slightly out of focus. Bummer, cause I like this.
