| This image could win the impressionism challenge - Really nice work here - gave it a 6 during voting but clearly undervoted on it (to used to sharp and contrasty images of DPC). |

675th place is a massive achievement.
It also takes a certain something to enter a shot like this. Re: the certain something, and as you like bike racing, I can tell you that I spoke to some stranger once while watching a friend of mine try his hand at somebody-or-other's school of racing at Brands Hatch. Said stranger said he'd also tried it once and when I asked him why he hadn't kept it up he said: "I haven't got the arsehole for it." So well done. I think I'll make it a favourite just so as you have to change your profile page again. |

WOW - you got screwed by the voters! I personally like this. I get what you were trying to do and I think you got exactly what you wanted. Congrats on that. It's too bad that people can't see past the normal technicals of photography and see the art/intention of the photog. What is even more ridiculous is that the only techniacal issue would be focus and it is more than obvious this was done on purpose.
Somtimes I just don't get DPC voters!
Great work. |

Yes, I think you were so robbed. . . .
Such is life, though. Still a very nice shot. Would look awesome blown up really really big, printed and hanging on a wall in a modern apartment building or something. |

I loved the colors & abstract form, finding them compelling & evocative...
This was a bold entry - it barks out confidence in one's ability as an artist! |

| A pretty OOF effect. However, there is too much empty space in the right half of the frame, and, IMO, you oversaturated the colours. 5 |

| I love it! Composition is great - it is an abstract image but there is definitely a subject. The yellow is not just some "blob" but is made more substantial by the lines of green around the bottom and out of the bottom. It immediately says "flower" - in an understated way. The colors compliment each other perfectly.. and I like the ... I don't know how to put it but it seems that if I were to take this photo and adjust levels in Photoshop, I wouldn't be able to get anything more to my liking. Border is subtle yet definitely "there", acting as a way to hold in all the flowing color. Very very good image in my opinion. |

| Fabulous impressionistic piece. I hope the voters are being kind--this kind of work doesn't fare well on DPC. |

| I wish this did more for me, the colors and composition are fine, but the lack of any point of focus does not work for me. |

| A soft focus filter provides a somewhat more appealing way to accomplish this effect. |
