Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Rock, Paper, Scissors II (Basic Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Canon EOS-7D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Date: Feb 4, 2012
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/800
Date Uploaded: Feb 5, 2012

Basic RAW, LR4.

Predict 5.5. I love it. The dark moody image and yet movement and conflict of space and time.

If you read this, this is how I feel. Dark and moody but still hungry for the movement possible only because we are alive. I am living in the time after the predicted death march would have come to an end. In a way, I am crossing the Rubicon. Is this my year to complete the crossing?

Looking at this image again I know, no doubt, that it is a good image, artistically sound. I also know that the DPC ex-spurts will give it a 4, maybe a 5. (Ex-spurt=expert= a has-been drip under prezzure LOL)
Disqualification Details
You may not use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare, vignettes or motion) that didn't already exist in your original capture.

I somehow missed this. It is thick and deep with meaning. It is breathtaking and hauntingly beautiful.

Eerie....Very cool!

The precarious balance. Taking it one step at a time. Sharing the path with others, but at the same time competing for limited resources. A selfish moment can ruin the crossing for everyone. But, by sharing, everyone gets where they need to be.

Nice one Doc! Very strong play between the 3 figures.

i like this day to day study of people going about their daily lives, i like the depiction of the stand off about to occur of the people going opposite ways on little steeping stones, you can image the trouble they are going to have stood on one stone trying to shimmy rd each other, nice low key and balcks.

I love the silhouettes of the people. Also the water is presented very well with the reflections. The black around makes it look even more interesting.

Be careful if you use an action or whateva, you do not know what is hidden in there. I still don't but must assume the thingy had vignette in it. My mistake and really mine alone.
First disqualification in all my time. Suppose I had to feel what it sis like.

Still love the image and still believe that it might/could have been done without the 'stir fry-mix'I used in Lightroom. A slight re-crop for example. Too bad. Sad. But correct application of the rules.

Sorry.
