In my top three because it's such a wonderfully interesting and restless picture. There's no way a viewer can just glance at this and be satisfied; it demands more engagement than that! Does the grain enhance that effect? Yes, of course. So does the fact that it's (unusually) in colour. As does the part-concealed face. As does everything, really. It's a superb, durable, marvelously open photograph! You've made the photograph (rather than the thing being photographed) the champion. That's a lamentably rare thing at DPC. Thank you. And please accept an Order of the Thumb:
