I have been researching one of the great masters of photography Ansel Adams in respect of the current challenge.
Well you can imagine my shock when i encounterd this
This is a masterpiece by the great man himself.
So what is my issue here you ask.....
Well I urge you to look at 102nd place in the challenge shadows.....

Now I'm not a photographic historian but I am amazed that nobody spotted this one.
odd that was still there .. thought it was brought up a day or two ago ...
of course the correct thing is to send it in to the SC rather than the forums .....
Ralph I agree I should have sent it to the SC directly, but what is more interesting here are the comments or lack of comments on a photograph, be it relevant or not to the challenge, that was actually taken by a recognized photographic master
The comments on this shot show that Ansel Adams is a lot of hype. If Ansel Adams was so good the comments would have been OUTSTANDING, UNBELIEVABLE, STUPENDOUS...
and it does contain shadows...so it is relevant.
So Ansel Adams only received a 4.6 in a DPChallenge contest !
