This should be fun, a pinhole shot in the Masters Free Study! I've had a good year so not bothered about the score but would like to see it as the highest scoring pin hole submission thus far. Personally I love it and would like to 'sea' it score well ;)
That said, if it doesn't get the brown then waaahaaaay to the pinhole crowd :)

Ok... I just realized that 3+ years ago this was among my selections in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should have included a comment about why. So I've been back over the last 1600+ posts to find my choices and make amends for my omission. Here's my belated comment:
I'm really glad that I took the time to go back and see my earlier choices. This remains as one of my favorites (just added it formally). The colors, composition, and soft focus add to a strong composition and really grab my attention. The literary reference in the title is an added bonus. Nice work! Finally, it holds up well to time. This exercise of mine (returning to view an image after several years) confirms my appreciation of your photo.
Andi, you bugger, this is very very nice and shows great use of this new pin-hole fad, shots like this deserve better but at DPC it wont happen for a while. I think the scene you chose was perfect for the weak focus of the pin-hole. this reminds me of Japanese ink paintings.
Hah, just gotten around to looking at Mast5ers results in depth. I loved this image, gave it a 9. How I wish the voters, as a group, could learn to appreciate stuff like this...
So ethereal, Andi, a wonderful pinhole capture - congrats on the best pinhole score so far! Sorry you didn't make the lensless best - so close! Commenters' score avg is fantastic...
woefully underrated. But then, my top 10 didn't break the top 10. this is beautiful - just not in a dpc friendly eyecandy bright and shiny kind of way. I would take that as a compliment.
gorgeous. most people don't understand the art of the imperfect photo and throw these away. to me, this is what the art of photography is all about. thanks for entering this.
Pleasing tonality and softness, with just enough things going on. Could be a huge mural print. The more time I spend with it, the more there is to like.
Bravely put forth here, knowing the sometimes fickle nature of the DPC voter. The colors & silhouette are very compelling with the abstract nature of the focus really making the image a little more fun, IMHO. Nicely done -- 8 --
Interesting take. I'm taking a few seconds to pull it in and decide whether I like it or not. I think what gets me the most is the noise in the light pinks on the lower right. Either that was from color shifting or it was a noisy image to start with. Ultimately this isn't my cup of tea. 5
