It appears that the only thing which stopped this gaining a ribbon was that the contradiction was not in the title but between the title and the image.
Great shame as it is an excellent image and a superb first submission.
Look forward to seeing future entries.
Well done.

This is a very nice photo. nICE JOB on capturing the eyes, and placement within the fence.

Great photo but 'free spirit' isnt an oxymoron. I get it in the picture but not the title... but I cant bring myself to rate low on such a good shot.

Nice idea. Powerful eyes and for once, a way to work in the usually annoying chain-link fence. Strong statement, strong work, hope that people caught it all, and that it does well. Love it.

This is a stunning capture. Eyes that appear to be longing for freedom. Great highlights around the eyes abd excellently framed.

powerful image - "free spirit" is not an oxymoron though; unless you believe all spirits are bound by an outside force. ;)

Lovely shot, but to me Free Spirit is by no stretch of the imagination an oxymoron. To me your shot speaks gorgeous, sad volumes, but it isnt really a picture of an oxymoron.
Still, though, great work, I really like this shot...

I don't quite think free spirit is an oxymoron, I like the picture however. The eyes really pop out.

Why is it that monkeys etc are so emotive, you only have to look in their eyes to see how they are feeling. Sad shot.

How does "free" contradict "spirit"? I like the pic, but this doesn't meet the challenge to me.
