Well, this defintely proves that the 'real thing' is much better than the cheap imitation :P
Just kidding of course :) Fun challenge with lots of good pictures. I submittet my shot to Norway's most read national newspaper for a online readers gallery and they ended up using it as a centerfold picture in the the paper copy spread over 2 pages illustrating the cold snap we're going through right now. I also got full credits and loved the attention :)
Congrats everyone for a bunch of excellent pictures.
Most of the team preferred the church shot, but the old photojournalist in me is always partial to people pictures.
My entry
I know this one had some technical issues due to the combination of the long exposure and being so close to the subject which made any movement noticebale. But the model's (Mandy) expression was too good to resist.
My entry was a bit of a last minute affair, but I had always hoped to be able to get a photo of this lighthouse and was quite happy it turned out so well and even gave me my second highest score ever!
These are some photos I thought about using...all taken on the one and only day I got to photograph after agreeing to participate in this side challenge. All taken in Miami on Dec. 26---talk about last moment!!
While I really liked the artistic vision, I literally begged her not to enter her image as I thought the DPC voters would shower down a storm of 3s and 4s on it.
