This essay is literally astonishing. I looked at these images on your blog, several times, and I'm still bloody astonished. I tried to evaluate each image separately as well, to see if there was any one that I'd score less than a perfect 10 in a DPC free study, and there was not. Every one soars with pathos and ethos both (with entre chien et loup, in fact). But there's far more to them individually and collectively than their fitness for an arbitrary score in a virtual contest. These photographs transcend that pedestrian context by so far that the idea of a 'score' is just silly.
And the title image, this one, is worth the price of admission all on its own. An enchanting, bewitching explanation of entre chien et loup. It gives a context to the photographs that can hardly fail to prise open even the most rusty imagination.
Tour de force! Merci.
